I don't know what to make of that. I thought we were all opposed to bringing these people to the States to be prosecuted and then jailed in the States.

Or is it enough to provide them an attorney from the foreign country where they are captured? Will we have our military attorneys represent them? Did the government ever resolve the question of whether or not an accused terrorist has the right to discovery of classified US documents to support their defense?
And I still don't know how the US government has jurisdiction to bring criminal charges against a foreign citizen for committing terrorist acts in a foreign country, especially if they are against foreign victims. What US law have they broken?
Maybe I'm just dumb, but this looks like a cluster waiting to happen.

Anyone who has kids will understand this analogy.
Why is it that people who don't have kids at all, ALWAYS know just exactly how to raise your kids, and what you are doing wrong?
