OK, we have not declared war, but we are still fighting them as our enemy.
Anyway, if we were to capture an al-Qaeda associate in America, they would presumably not be wearing any kind of uniform. Technically, that would make him a spy. Spies are not subject to the same rules of war as other combatants. So, couldn't we just use alternative methods of interrogation and then execute them, as that is the customary punishment for spies?
That would eliminate this whole need for a trial now, wouldn't it?
