another opinion by a gop appointeed, lol "High Court Rules Out Tribunals for Gitmo Detainees From Associated Press 7:33 AM PDT, June 29, 2006 WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court ruled today that President Bush overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees. The ruling, a rebuke to the administration and its aggressive anti-terror policies, was written by Justice John Paul Stevens, who said the proposed trials were illegal under U.S. law and international Geneva conventions."

The global war on terror has cost the U.S. $437 billion since September 11, the Congressional Research Service estimated last month, including $319 billion for the war in Iraq. (The Pentagon claims the latter figure should be $210 billion.) The CRS cost estimate has been widely reported, but the underlying report has not been widely available to the public. Now it is: "The Cost of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Other Global War on Terror Operations Since 9/11," updated June 14, 2006: fas.org
