WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration is proposing a $200 million fund to help pay for security costs in cities hosting the trials of accused terrorists such as Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (HAH'-leed shayk moh-HAH'-med).

A congressional aide familiar with the plan says the money will be included in the president's budget being release Monday. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity because the spending blueprint hasn't been released.

Word “CITIES” jumped out at me....

Better yet, let KSM & Co. swim for the US and whatever city they end up in, then we’ll decide on security.

The BO bunch creating “jobs” again! Geeesh! Why spend 200 million when all that is needed is a length of rope.

[just me]

And to think he still calls it the Bush economy... All he has done is look for more money to spend....

[bgill]

Word “CITIES” jumped out at me....

Hussein enjoys spreading the wealth, the fertilizer, and his good buddies from 9/11. Station one here, one there, one somewhere else and you've just set up a brilliant scheme to attack major US "CITIES" from several vantage points. He's hated the US from day one and his plan is to destroy us as quickly as possible for his 4 years or his usurp-ness is up.

a “fund”?

Will obama be pressing his donors to come enjoy a $10,000 plate of rubber chicken to raise funds to pay for the trial of KSM? Maybe he can get the Salahis to host.

Or maybe he cen just impose a bandage tax on the war heros at military hospitals

Leave KSM right were he is , try him in his cell and
hang him on the spot = save 200,000,000 dollars.

Works for me.

Funny, but I thought this bastard - embattled President Obama - was suddenly all about cutting spending, not ramping it up even further. Wouldn't a single military commission, held on one well-defended military base - Guantanamo comes to mind - be much, much less expensive?

[ColdOne]

Am I wrong here BUT he is willing to give this money for a trial, BUt not the the 9/11 families????

I’ll do it in my basement for $100 million.

I’ll host a trial for 45 cents per terrorist.

[Eyes Unclouded]

Pfft... tell him to bring them to Texas and leave em here. We’ll even pay for the rope ourselves!

[paulycy]

Dear President 0bama,

PLEASE throw money at the problem you yourself caused. Hundreds of millions of dollars ought to get us started.

And heck, there’s always more where that came from. I mean, why use GITMO which is already in place and quite well guarded, I hear? Even if it does have it’s own military for tribunals.

But I digress.

Good job once again. Keep up your record of thoughtful and successful debacles on behalf of us stupid American people who clearly cannot thrive without your beneficent influence.

(Thank*) you very much. [*Ed. - final line edited for family viewing.]

Send him back to Gitmo, try him there, and stop wasting our money!

This be the start of his cap on discretionary spending.

[MindBender26]

I’ll host a trial for 45 cents per terrorist.

I'll do it for 30.06 cents per terrorist.

Everyday this comedian is proposing a new $200 million program.

Should have just kept it at Gitmo, idiot. Everything's in place already.
