How many people could we save with the $75 million the U.S. will spend on security for Kahlid Sheik Mohamed's horse and pony trial?
Everyone including the president has said he is guilty, KSM has proudly admitted his guilt, and yet we will waste millions of taxpayer dollars and subject the citizens of New York to potential terrorist acts, for no real value. What kind of idiots are making these decisions? (Rhetorical question)
