Most cannot be tried in US courts because of the national secuirty implications. Because of the way the info was gathered (not even speaking out interrogation methods yet) most of the evidence cannot be used in court. If they do try to hold trials for these people in a civilian court nearly all would be found not guilty by an impartial jury.
