They had him in custody. That is a well documented fact. Your "well documented fact" amounts to a claim by the Taliban that "it had restricted his contact with the outside world, thus making it difficult for him to run any kind of global network." They offered to turn him over to us on the single condition we turned over the evidence of his guilt to them. And then they could easily "decide" that the evidence is faulty or inconclusive and in the meantime we would have tipped off the Taliban and Al-Qaida to our intel sources and methods. And even if they did turn him over it wouldn't have been enough. Al-Qaida as an organization planed and executed the attack it wasn't just the 19 hijackers and bin Laden. Tim

That is a well documented fact...Being clueless doesn't change the facts. I agree that being clueless doesn't change the facts, and would specify that your being clueless doesn't vacate the necessity of providing documentation to support your assertions. Now: if indeed the assertion that "[the Taliban] had [Bin Laden] in custody" is "well documented", you shouldn't have any trouble providing a few credible links backing that claim. Correct? You have a fuzzy video... What would you expect? A digitally-mastered, professionally produced film with numerous camera angles and a soundtrack? ...of a person who looks nothing like bin Laden confessing to the attacks... That's an absurdly subjective assessment. How many photos are there of Osama Bin Laden, and how accurately dated are they? How far apart, in terms of time, were they taken? On what basis are you essentially expressing expertise as to what he looks like or should look like? I'd be terribly interested in knowing your qualifications and what material you've used to reach the conclusions you have. ... and you have the most preposterous hearsay imaginable... Certainly not more preposterous than the nonsense posted on this thread. Speaking of hearsay, will you ever respond to my challenge - made over one year ago - or should I take your continuing silence as indicative of your acknowledging that you fabricated this claim? Message 19177234 ...concocted by the 9/11 Commission. What are you basing this conspiratorial allegation upon? Are you aware that expanding your conspiracy theory to include the Commission is in keeping with the highest tradition of political fantasy concoction? I'm looking forward to your replies. Thank you - LPS5
