I think it's disturbing how everyone seems to profess they know the culprit and just need 'evidence' in order to maintain the moral high ground so that when they strike it's justified, whatever the outcome... I wouldn't trust my govenment... it's run by politicians. They make a living out of lying. Don't you think that given the gravity of the event, they are forced to rush to conclusions. I'd say any evidence would be circumstancial and if held up to a civil court wouldn't be enough to convict, but that doesn't matter. What matters in this case is that american has identified it's target (truth is irrelvant). Now all that is left to do is deliver 'infinate justice' by way of violence. The IDN Fresh conference home page says it best... "How long to human being have to exist on this earth before realising that nothing can justify the taking of another human life let alone thousands of them for political, religious or other ends?" Like the very target of the attacks, the world trade center, bin ladin has become a 'symbol' of american retribution (largely due to the media) regardless of whether or not be was responsible.
