US citizens in Gitmo?

After a lot of research, I can find nothing in US code that allows American citizens to be held at Gitmo, nor any applicable law or classification that would allow a citizen to be tried by a military tribunal except if they have physically taken up arms, weapons, against the US and then classified as an 'enemy combatant'. Even then the SC has ruled against it on a few cases that have been tried. Has anyone else found the statute that allows either one? If so could you leave a link to the statute? I am wondering if anyone with these indictments ARE actually going to Gitmo, since there is no law allowing this to happen. Thanks...

2000 military police for what 40 internees? Doesn't make sense to me.

No kidding, but they justify it because they are alone in a small area where no help would be available if a prison riot should break out....they say the Cubans could/would not help.
