The Supreme court, at least in terms of habeus corpus, at GITMO, because the U.S. has control over that area.

Otherwise, those who argue that foreign prisoners must be tried in civilian courts, are presumably arguing that they all have full constitutional guarantees (can you have a U.S. "civilian" trial without the associated constitutional rights)? (That argument though, might be turning into a fringe opinion, though it was much more common when Bush was president).
