How much money would it cost to provide security for the trial of Gitmo detainees in NY?

According to NYC mayor Bloomberg, $400 million (Hat tip: IRIS' Israel Blog):
New York City projects it will cost more than $400 million to provide security if the pre-trial preparation and trial of the suspects in the Sept. 11 terror attacks takes two years, which insiders say is virtually certain, according to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The cost of the upcoming terror trials in this New York City courthouse for Guantanamo Bay detainees charged as 9/11 co-conspirators, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will likely be more than $400 million and could go as high as $600 million.

It will cost another $206 million annually if the trial runs beyond two years, which some fear is possible, the mayor’s office estimates.
And this is just one more reason why America cannot afford to have this taking place on its shores - it is costing the country tons of money needed for much better things.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
