Thanks, Keyboard555. However, this does seem worth noting: Next year’s budget will included $200,000,000 to “help defray the security costs resulting from the criminal trials of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his fellow 9/11 terrorists.” The author continues,
Aren’t Khalid and his pals ordinary criminals? Even trying John Gotti didn’t shut down Manhattan. The reason why such extraordinary security will be necessary is that the 9/11 plotters are not merely criminals. They are combatants in a war against the United States; it is their fellow combatants who are still in the field who pose such a risk that extraordinary measures are necessary.
Worth thinking about.
