Because we've always done it that way Nuh-uh. Geneva Conventions require a hearing on status. Not a full trial on guilt or innocence, just a hearing on who they are and why they're being locked up. I believe there's an exception if all agree that they're POWs. If they aren't POWs they need to be tried for committing a crime or released. If they are POWs they can be held until the end of hostilities, but not indefinitely. I know people have been arguing about this for years but SCOTUS has spoken. If you want to argue, maybe Justice Kennedy is up for it.
