The Country's Taxpayers To Pay For Obama's Decision To Try 9/11 Mastermind In New York?

Barack Obama's decision to have Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the 9/11 mastermind behind the September 11 terror attack upon America, tried in a New York court, is going to cost a projected $200M a year, just in security costs.

Who will be paying for that? The good people of New York? Or every American?

Security for the federal trial of self-proclaimed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and four accused cohorts will run $200 million a year, sources told the Daily News.

The NYPD's newly revised projection is almost triple the estimate of $75 million in November, after Attorney General Eric Holder announced he would move the prisoners from Guantanamo to Manhattan for trial.

The legal process is expected to play out over more than a year.

At a news conference Monday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) demanded the federal government pay every penny of the security costs.

"Some New Yorkers think the trials are a good idea. Some New Yorkers think the trials are a bad idea," Schumer said. "One idea all New Yorkers agree on is that New York taxpayers should not have to pay a dime for these trials."



What is another couple of hundred million?

Chump change to the political leaders that are spending like drunken sailors.

Chump change that you, the American taxpayer, will have to pay.
