The only, rare justification I could see for military tribunals in lieu of civilian trials is when the evidence presented could expose US intelligence gathering capabilities. This exception should be used with great discretion. Those being tried for breaking civilian federal laws should be tried in civilian court.
My trouble has always been, if the accused is convicted (emphasis on "if". Sorry, Ace.), the placement of these guys into civilian penal systems. Because they would need special consideration, it may place a strain on an existing system. I don't know the best answer there.
Due process has already failed, they should have moved through the judicial system years ago.
Ace, show trials imply the absence of due process.
