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.

Abfuckingsurd.

911 was an attack on people AND infrastructure. The WTC was chosen as a target because the towers were big and beautiful and full of infidels, sure, but also because they were EXPENSIVE to build, ESPENSIVE to replace, and the massive destruction would be enormously EXPENSIVE to clean up. And then there's all the EXPENSES related to the disruption of operations of all the various businesses and institutions housed therein.

And now this vampire pig is going to be allowed to suck another 400-600 million out of America's waning arteries.

Are you starting to taste the vomit yet?
