#1 "This government may have the power to hold the trial of war criminals but it doesn't have the authority to do so,"

Technically, the same could be said of the American participation in the Nuremberg Trials. If the Constitution is/was the law of national government authority and power, the ex post facto clause would preclude an American court from overseeing any crimes other than those on the books before the trials. That doesn't preclude other powers from performing the deed [just like rendition], but it makes the US participation an expansive and interpretive bending of Constitutional legal principles.
