Should he be? What are the official laws regarding a POW? Certainly not that of naturalized citizens... After skimming the UN Laws for POWs[1] and reading the parts that seemed to deal with internment and time length, it's not really clear to me why he should have to be tried. Once he's be associated with the enemy he can be held until the end of Hostilities at which point the "host" country can decide when and how to exchange him with "ex-enemy" . That last part will be a little difficult because I don't think Al-Qaeda takes many prisoners. That said, they might be violating laws regarding torture but that's a whole nother ball of wax.
