This is getting better by the minute.

Jan. 6 (Bloomberg) -- New York City will incur costs of more than $200 million a year for security during the planned trial of five suspects in the September 2001 terror attacks, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

I'm sure flying him and american personnel to another country would be cheaper.
Besides the fact that he'll be on a plane, the place where he wanted to kill himself.

It cost us something $50M for the GOP convention being here one week... $200M for a year is chump change.

I, personally, cannot wait for this trial to happen, and in NYC. Bring them to justice here, where they attacked us.

Yep. Spending $200M+ to find someone guilty WHO ALREADY HAPPILY ADMITTED THEY ARE sounds like a great idea.

I was a direct victim of the 9/11 attacks. I ran for my life that day and I lost people very near and dear to me.

I would like justice served. I have been waiting for that to happen for well over 8 years. I live in a little country called the United States where we try people in a court of law, guilty or not guilty. I want a trial untainted by secrecy or whether or not it was "fair". I want them tried and convicted in a court of law. Here, where they attacked.

please provide for us a scenario in which we won't have to pay for security.

again, another baseless right-wing strawman. SOMETHING OBAMA DID IS COSTING US $200M!!! AHHHHHHHH! SOCIALIST!

Whther or not this is conducted as a military tribunal or civilian trial, it's going to cost money!

Of course, you only care about the 2nd amendment to the constitution.

Are you also comfortable with the presumption of innocence until proven guilty? Because, as much as I hate to inform you, people do walk free in this nation based on legal technicalities. You better hope and pray that prosecutors have the legal eptitude to trump the defense.

The slim chance that these whackos could go free is the reason for the outcry. Although not likely, it is indeed possible in the "little country called the United States."

To be 'comfortable' with absolutely anything else is about as un-american as it gets.
