CarolC,

Look around on the streets. You really think 'Justice' is the issue? People want Bin Ladin gone. The Taliban knows that an Islamic court may not do anything to him. They know that if they turn him over to us, he will die. Before anyone says, "That's not how it should be" of course that is not how things 'should be' but they are the way things are.

People that lead these courts, that they want Bin Ladin tried in, live in countries where there are fringe groups that would kill them for finding him guilty. So would there be justice done then?

What about the other attacks Bin Ladin has commited? Do we let those go? Can we put him on trial for those crimes? Will those courts allow it? These are all questions that would have to be answered. The Taliban want Bin Ladin around. He is a good tool for them. They will not hand over him any sooner than most Americans would hand over thier guns.
