So would a charge of treason be required to be prosecuted by military tribunal? How would the charge of treason affect the charge of terrorism? I just don’t know enough about military tribunals,etc.

In 1942, the SCOTUS assigned the case of an American citizen to a military tribunal -- as he had acted against the USA in service to a foreign power during a time of war.

He was tried and executed.

Thanks for the link! Not sure which ‘foreign power’ we could say he is fighting for at this point. I think that is why the Bush administration had a ‘War On Terror’ to begin with perhaps. No wonder Obama wanted to end that legal designation so fast. I just hope he pays with his life in the end.
