SELECTED CRS REPORTS

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:
