No problem. Something like the Nuremberg trials might be an idea. What these people have done is a crime, etc. We'll get accused of trying them in a kangaroo court, just like the Big Three were accused of doing at Nuremberg, but heck, whatever we do, we'll get accused of wrongdoing somewhere along the line, rightly or wrongly.

Something that occurred to me lately, is that execution may not be a appropriate punishment in this case. Mind you, I believe in the death penalty, but these guys have already shown that they don't care about being dead. Heck, the mullahs the terrorist organizations have preach that if you die for Islam, you get a direct pass to paradise. That explains the steady supply of suicide bombers (and now, I suppose, suicide pilots).

Wouldn't it be a bigger punishment to deprive these guys of a violent death in that case? What would be an effective deterring punishment?
