I apologize, … I’m sorry, … sorry, ….. sorry …

…. about my claims that it would cost the taxpayers about $20 to $40 MILLIONS to conduct those NYC “terrorist trials”.

Thus I offer my sincere apology and ask for your forgiveness for being so blatantly ignoramously wrong by at least 1,000%. Such stupidity on my part was uncalled for.

And therefore I offer you a more realistic cost to the taxpayers, to wit:

Stepped-up security measures for the upcoming trial of the suspects in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks are now expected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars -- a far heftier price tag than originally thought.

In a letter obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, Mayor Michael Bloomberg put the cost at $216 million for the first year after Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other suspects arrive in Manhattan from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. After that, the mayor said it would cost $200 million annually for as long as the men are detained in the city -- mainly overtime for extra New York Police Department patrols.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly had given an initial estimate of $75 million a year but later warned it could be higher. A recent NYPD analysis came up with the totals cited by the mayor.

City officials and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., have called on the federal government to foot the bill.

The Monopoly Man sure know how to pass out all that "funny" money for super good causes.

Too bad ole Bob n' Jay couldn't get their hands on a couple $100 MILLION a year for WV ......... or at the very least they should have tried talking Obama into holding those “terrorist trials” in West Virginia.

Now that sure woulda been a short term "economic boom" for the State.
