We Got Fooled Again!


Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was going to have a quiet sun-filled ocean-side tribunal in Guantanamo Bay Cuba, but someone had the audacity of hope for justice and decided that, to be civilized, KSM should be tried with the full benefit and weight of the U.S. Justice System.

Well, he's getting the full weight of the U.S. Justice system all right. He's getting a whopping security detail that will cost U.S. taxpayers more than seventy five million dollars. Since security is only part of the whole ordeal, imagine what the rest of the iceberg will cost.

This magnanimous gesture of civility filled the hearts of liberal progressives with warm fuzzies, the rest of us with gnawing pains of hunger in our stomachs, and the pockets of New York's legal industrial complex with our cash. What is up with New York Anyway? Didn't Wall Street get enough of our investment money? Didn't they get enough of our bailout money?

Well, it's always just about the money. The next time you feel your heart-strings getting tugged, take a breath and really start thinking about how much it's going to cost.
