Security for Khalid Sheik Mohammed's NYC trail to cost over $200 million per year

Why don't we just pump a couple of $0.25 5.56mm bullets into this guy? It'll save a lot of money and grief. NY Daily News

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.[...]

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