Bingo.
Try them for treason.
funny how people think today, in 1949 the Rosenberg's were hung for giving secrets of the bomb to the Russians.
today people some people would find it hard to punish people who committed treason.
It it treasonous for an American to fight against the regimes in Syria and Iraq?
treason by the founders is defined as.... giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war.....enemy of america.
Well, I think it might be simpler to not capture any. I don't see a legal route through the minefield.
This would probably be just about the definition of treason, though I'm sure lawyers would find a way to question it.
Since we technically don't have a declaration of war...

they actually were made into crispy critters in 1953.
thanks for the correction...

It is treasonous to join in a war against the United States of America, which is how ISIL perceives itself.
Sixty minutes is currently interviewing some London based scum bag who is a radical islamist who has been charged with recruiting for Isis and admitted to supporting jihad against the west. This report noted that one of the ISIS thugs who beheaded an unarmed western victim had a "london accent"
what should be done to americans captured by US or allied troops fighting against ISIS?
America does not have boots on the ground and as such will not capture anyone.
all of that can change. I suggest hunter-killer teams

i hope isil's perceptions aren't a consideration.
I don't want to look like defending these jerks but my instincts tell me that fighting for a cause in a foreign country should not be a crime at home. Should everyone who went to spain to fight fascism have been charged when they came home? Lots of canadians joined the us army and marines to fight in viet nam.
This is why i say there should be no american citizens captured there.
It should not be a crime at home unless the soldier is fighting for an entity that is an enemy of his own nation. In the case of ISIS, it is an enemy of all of the western democracies. It is, in fact, an enemy of liberty.I hope ISIL's perceptions aren't a consideration.

Well, I'd like another nation, another government, involved before I'd use the word 'treason', but I take your point.
The Islamic State collects taxes, runs a judicial system, issues passports, and is in the process of developing its own monetary system, making it more independently sovereign than most nations in Europe.
