Schumer, "Rough estimate from the city of New York, which I received yesterday, place the added cost of moving the trials of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other terrorist suspects to New York somewhere in the ballpark of $75 million, that's a minimum."
When questioned about security Schumer's response was that the estimate could be another $25M. And these are just the first four.

Terrorist Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: Turn around and take me back up to the view. I want to pick targets.
President Obama: Wait till we get back to New York City and I will carry you up the stairs of the Empire State Building for the very best target view, my little cuddle-cakes!
Terrorist Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: SILENCE! I KEEL YOU!
So, here’s another question concerning this stupidity. If you were a juror in this trial, would you be worried for your safety?
And another: Does KSM get a “jury of his peers?” Calling CAIR! One Muzzie and you get jury nullification.
Hey NYC, just add that paltry $100M to the bill you’re already gonna stick to the rest of the country, why don’t you? You and Kallie should certainly be proud of yourselves.
You have to hand it to the Democrats. They are very creative in finding ways to get public money into the hands of their benefactors (in this case, trial lawyers).
$100 million?
A mere pittance.
A paltry sum for high rollers like 0bamao and his fellow travelers.
After all, almost any sum of money is worth it to the goon-in-chief to embarrass the United States and transfer our secrets to our sworn blood enemies.
Well, isn’t that dandy? $100M more we don’t have to begin with, spent on a trial we don’t need, to support an agenda that doesn’t work.
These people are such incredible morons it’s a wonder they can breathe without instructions.
Not a problem - we’ll just print some more money!
This is just a way to bailout NYC. You know that they will pad the bill and Obama will be happy to pay it.
This was always the goal of the liberal attorneys to get Gotmo Muslim terrorists here so taxpayers could pay their govt paid defense attorneys $5 million a case at least.
100 Million taxpayer dollars added to the defecit because of an assinine mistake that the AG and the Idiot in the White House are making.
Tax Payers should revolt.
Perhaps Bloomberg will pick up the tab.
Keep enabling their pals in the TV news by keeping cable and sat TV. I cancelled my TV service. But I need TV to be a little serf and watch the ball games.
Your cable bill slices up around a $1 per channel plus or minus. So everytime you pay your bill - you keep CNN, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, NBC alive. Fox is better but has Saudi ownership.
Pay for it your ownself Chuck, you POS.
Democrats hate poor minorities spending money to prosecute terrorists like this>
A .45 caliber bullet costs about $0.25. Save the tax money for something important.
I wonder how many poor black children could be put through college with that kind of money. Obama must hate poor black children.
We need to release him to the voraciousness of the American lawyer.
Especially since a complete new courtroom has been designed, and constructed to exacting specifications in Guantanamo, and stands ready with special security precautions (bullet proof witness box etc.) and special design for private consultation of the accused with their attorneys. Everything has already been made ready, including the prevention of pro-jihad propaganda for world televising and recruitment.
Schumer loves publicity and manipulation. He should know better and think better of all this.
Should have posted this link to the State of the Art courtroom that has already been built in Gitmo. The Democrats will waste money without any problem at all to achieve a political end. Should also comment that the expense of NYC more than exceeds the dollar amount Obozo was concerned with “spending” to support the 40K additional troops needed in Afghanistan.
Here is the link. Amazing someone does not bring all this up as well in the face of economic reality:

How do u like that Hope and Change now ? it’s a show everyday with this administration,The 3 Stooges lol
Obama’s people have eliminated this terminology- if you click on the home page of JTF Gitmo, there apparently is no website for Joint Task Force Guantanamo anymore, and no links to a new site. So, they have purposely eliminated any reference to an existing facility, which is well known to Eric Holder’s law firm, who has defended people in Gitmo. We spent all that money and effort to make it all fair, humane and “transparent” (this word was being used in 2007, not an Obama word by the way)... and in order to bash Bush/Cheney and further endanger the US they will have an expensive show trial in NYC with mysterious rules of evidence in a civilian court. Absolutely nuts!
