No, they were brought to Gitmo specifically because the government believed that that was outside our judicial system. Since the court disagreed in Boumediene, we've been funneling everyone to Bagram, where they're also outside our judicial system.
In criminal trials. Which the bulk of these aren't.
Why do you persist in these falsehoods in spite of continually being corrected? "Enemy combatant" is not a term that elevates, no matter how many times you repeat it.

You are mindbogglingly misinformed.
Quick quiz:
Does the Obama administration still label terrorists the equivalent of "enemy combatants" (although using a different word)?
Does the Obama administration still place terrorists in military tribunals?
Because we weren't in a state of war at the time, which is a predicate to the tribunal system. Jesus christ.
If you don't even understand the fundamental basics of national security law, please refrain from acting like you do.
Other than jobs in the DoJ, you mean.
