Trying them as criminals only ensures that they won't get convicted and/or the government will disclose the methods it used to catch them in first place, greatly enhancing their organization's chances of success in the next attack.

Those 2 objections aren't good reasons for keeping terrorists from coming to trial. When we try ordinary criminals, there is a chance that they won't get convicted, and it discloses to other criminals the method government uses to catch them in the first place, greatly enhancing other ordinary criminals' chances of success in their next crime. Yet we still do it.

Try again.
