Just to interject slightly regarding this article:
After a week of debilitating strikes at targets across Afghanistan, the Taliban repeated an offer to hand over Osama bin Laden, only to be rejected by President Bush.

The offer yesterday from Haji Abdul Kabir, the Taliban's deputy prime minister, to surrender Mr bin Laden if America would halt its bombing and provide evidence against the Saudi-born dissident was not new but it suggested the Taliban are increasingly weary of the air strikes, which have crippled much of their military and communications assets.

I just have one question for you, mookie: What on earth makes you think it would be wise to give AN ENEMY so-called "evidence" of Osama's guilt, when such evidence could give away intelligence tools and capabilities with it?
As August said, it was a stalling tactic. In fact, it was questionable whether or not the Taliban even had the capacity to do so.
