I think we're basically in agreement - that's almost exactly what happened in WWII, and that's more or less what I'm talking about. German saboteurs were captured in the US, held as prisoners of war, tried before a military tribunal, and sentenced. I see no reason things should be different here.

Going from memory here, but I think you're mistaken. The Nazi saboteurs were not prisoners of war. They were tried as spies. Prisoners of war do not normally get tried for anything, and certainly not executed, unless they are guilty of war crimes. On the other hand, that is the normal fate for spies.
