It's the same infrastructure that deals with lawful combatants, duh. Certainly part of it could be used. But it's not a complete system. Tribunals had to be invented. Criteria and procedures needed to be developed, still need to be developed. Terms need to be codified. Law schools don't offer specialties in it. I doubt they even offer a course. I don't think you'll find "illegal combatant lawyers" listed in any directory. And the public doesn't know what's what. There's not a developed system there. We have a well developed criminal justice systems. And we have have well developed systems for the traditional military categories like prisoners of war and member infractions. At best we have a nub for unlawful combatants. All this hollering going on is natural given that no one has designed and vetted a system for unlawful combatants, let alone used it for generations. We're winging it.
