To me those are criminal prosecution concepts. The position of many is that these matters are not criminal matters eventhough they were treated that way many times in the past.

They aren't criminal matters? Are you saying no crime was committed and that no trial should have taken place at all? Are you saying that he simply remains an enemy combatant?
Are you completely unfamiliar with the concept of law and war even after the 20th century has come and gone?

Which approach was that? Incarcerate them indefinitely without charges and leave them in legal limbo?
