The prosecutors know this and charged them anyway. If you have a different answer, then stop eluding to Gitmo as a defense for your opinion. 

The rights of the defendant, and the desires of the government, indeed conflict.  The Justice department does not focus on national defense or spies. The Pentagon does not focus on punishing guilty people. But from a whole government perspective, national defense is more important than justice.  

As I've already said, these people were almost certainly guilty, but impossible to prosecute, and I am still surprised I got this far.
