Yes. Insane. I do often feel like Alice in Wonderland, wondering what the heck those making the rules are thinking.

"The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that President Bush overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees, a rebuke to the administration and its aggressive anti-terror policies."

Here's how it would have read if the decision had gone the other way:

"A deeply divided Supreme Court ruled today that President Bush has the authority to order military tribunals for Guantanamo Bay detainees. The court's conservative majority said that . . . In a ringing dissent, Justice Steven Breyer said, "These tribunals violate the most fundamental principles of our Constitution and of International Law."
