SCOTUS Rules Against Military Tribunal Plan - Bob Schroeck - 06-30-2006
In a 5-3 vote today, the Supreme Court of the US rejected President's Bush's plan to hold military tribunals for Guantanamo detainees, saying it "violated the U.S. Military Code of Justice and the Geneva Conventions".
The ruling also declared that the congressional resolution passed just after 9/11 did not grant President Bush as much power as he has claimed it did.

There's an in-depth, two-page article about this on The Register: page 1 and page 2. It doesn't pull as many punches as the USA Today article does...

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
