Did New York want the big 9/11 terrorism trial? Now, Mayor Bloomberg is demanding money from all of us to act as host.
Sorry, I'm not convinced. Sure, it will be more expensive than the Tony Awards or the Crystal-ball dropping shindig on New Year's Eve, but...
Think of the tourism dollars. Or, better yet, Euros. New York could hold the trial in Yankee Stadium with $500 / seat tickets in the bleachers. $10,000 for behind the judges bench. The security needed would be less than that mandated for a Tuesday Red Sox game.
And you know al Qaeda would book a Hilton or two itself. Does Bloomberg want to share all that, huh?
