The courts have upheld keeping citizens in military detention as enemy combatants. If you look at the court decisions, the wartime conditions of their capture played a large part in the courts' decisions.

Putting citizens before a military tribunal for trial is a different issue. And the president's executive order does not call for it.

May I ask why you think it is so important to treat identically domestic terrorists and terrorists associated with foreign organizations at war with us?
