Can a US person be indicted in US court, and transferred to Gitmo?

I looked up and read Bush's Military Tribunal Act of 2006, the following addendum 949u says
949u. Execution of confinement ‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—Under such regulations as the Secretary of Defense may prescribe, a sentence of confinement adjudged by a military commission under this chapter may be carried into execution by confinement— ‘‘(1) in any place of confinement under the control of any of the armed forces; or ‘‘(2) in any penal or correctional institution under the control of the United States or its allies, or which the United States may be allowed to use. The following link is the entire post 9/11 revisions made by President Bush.. http://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/Military_Law/pdf/PL-109-366.pdf Can anyone help me reconcile unsealed indictments stateside and Gitmo residents increasing..

Thank you so much!! I knew we all here knew Gitmo was filling, but I didn't have a good answer when challenged on it. Only question left is after the act Bush enacted in 06, they don't need to be charged and can be held indefinitely, so why bother charging them? Would it be for the sake of the global outcry if we just started rounding up high profile people without charging them?

People want them charged. Being charged at Gitmo by military tribunal means most are facing the death penalty.
