Unlawful enemy combatants (UECs) fall outside both the U.S. criminal
and civil legal systems. They, like POWs, are handled exclusively by
the military under the usual rules of war, and under these "usual
rules" (i.e., the Geneva and Hauge Conventions), UECs, along with
spys, saboteurs, guerrillas, fifth-columnists, and the like can be
disposed of in any way the capturing belligerent army sees fit. Our
first UEC, Major John Andre, was given a perfunctory hearing, then
hanged by order of George Washington.

UEC should be dealt with appropriately (grin), no question about that,
but the aspect of the laws as they now exist that I do NOT like, is that it
is unclear whether or not there would be redress of any kind if someone
were to untruthfully be accused of and treated as being UEC.
