Without an indictment and an evidentiary trial according to the principles of due process, including representation by counsel and the right to confront witnesses and all that legalistic mumbo-jumbo, yes You are trying to "criminalize" the war against militant islamists. These people are illegal combatants, and getting more than they are entitled to now.

Those who are taken on American soil must be dealt with according to American law. Those who are taken in the field are combatants, and get a military tribunal to determine their status. In WWII eight Nazi saboteurs were caught in America and tried by military tribunal. The Supreme Court, in Ex parte Quirin (1942), upheld the authority of the tribunal, and six of the men were executed.
