That’s my solution. Shoot them on the spot and they won’t make any more trouble. And you won’t have to feed and coddle them for $100,000 a year at taxpayer expense, or pay the fees of their Public Defenders.
BUT. Remember Haditha, and Murtha, and the Navy Adjutant General’s Office. What do you do when you have enemy agents working as stringers for the news services, and traitors working as lawyers in the military, who will accuse you of murder every time you kill an enemy?
Capture a terrorist in the act, and some liberal judge will let him loose to kill again. Shoot him, and you’ll be court martialed for killing a poor, innocent civilian, as testified by an Islamist AP reporter and several Muslim witnesses, and as ordered by a commander who has been threatened by Murtha with loss of all his funding from the Armed Services Committee.
Imagine how this will play out if Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are running the show.

There would have already been a Constituion-burning party, and the SCOTUS would be relegated to fund raising from our enemies for the DemoRat party....
The problem is that you need to take prisoners to get the Intel. Kill everybody & you learn nothing. The Supremes have made it difficult because a civilian trial will require the Pentagon to bring classified material into the courtroom. I suspect that the prosecution will just release most of these detainees rather than reveal what they have on them in open court.
OTOH, we will be treated to circus trials for the baddest-of-the-bad. (And some may go free.) Either way, America loses.
