Why not charge any foreign terrorist under existing piracy statutes and
treat them as pirates? That sidesteps any nonsense about "War on terror" as well as any comparison to other p.o.w.s while simultaneously giving the US a right to hold them prisoner and ensuring the accused a right to a fair trial by civilian courts.

1. Because there are too many of them
I see lots of people in my neighborhood wearing anti-terrorism whistles around their neck. Just in case.

3. Uh, I think those are for muggers. Who do terrorize, of course.
But individually.
