To be fair, I was making the assumption that they would only be prepared to hand him over if they were actually capable of doing just that. I hadn't even considered the possibility that the Taliban would need to use force to hand over ObL.
I think it is reasonable to expect that whoever was responsible for the deaths of 6000-odd people on Sept 11th should somehow be made to answer for that. I don't think that that expectation should put me on no steenkin' ladder with no damn Powell!
