That's not quite accurate. If you wish to use a criminal proceedings analogy, the U.S. has issued an "arrest warrant" for bin Laden and is now telling the Taliban they are "obstructing justice" and risk being held in "contempt of court" by not cooperating with the attempt to arrest him. It seems the evidence you seek would more properly be sought in a trail phase of the proceedings.

Under english common law there is no burden of proof required for an arrest, but rather reasonable cause 'to lay an information' ... i should think that bin Laden's videotaped incitements to murder combined with existing weight of evidence of links between him and other murderers would be reasonable cause to bring him in for questioning As to answering to the taliban - a parallel with Viet Nam could perhaps be drawn here - Would it have been legally necessary to answer to Westmoreland as the representative of the occupying military power circa 1965? ... response depends on whose law you quote, eh .... the taliban power base is to a great extent non-afghani, people are forgetting this on launching off into generalisations I think Canada should take the initiative here, lease some russian bombers and bomb the living shit out of the hazara territory, using individual half-kilo packages of naan bread with labels written by moi
