And now the Taliban want to negotiate with us about releasing OBL if we provide "evidence" of his guilt? The Taleban taunt the US with offers to 'negotiate' precisely because they know the US can't. Len Grasso will tell us that its because 'evidences takes time to fabricate'. However I think things are simpler than what Len would like us to believe - that sufficient evidence exists in order to 'prosecute' OBL/Taleban militarily; that the evidence which they will not share publicly at this time is sufficient to convince a number of other democracies. Importantly, they can't play the 'show me' game with them as that just affords the Taleban the opportunity to state ' we don't accept this' on review of the evidence - et voila, perfect card to play for symptathy support. Its all for consumption for their people closer to home, to incite more hatred.
