1. I'd still like to see the original evidence
When the Bush Administration invaded Afghanistan, they promised the world they had solid proof that Al Queda and Bin Laden were behind the 9/11 attacks. They stated they would present this proof to the world.

While it's all well and good that they've gotten two people to confess to the crimes while being interrogated (and tortured, no doubt), but what about the original dossier?

Where IS that 'solid proof' that the administration had in Nov 2001 that they promised to provide?

Does it exist? During the run up to the invasion of Afghanistan, the Taliban offered to turn Bin Laden over, if they could be convinced of his guilt in the 9/11 attacks. The Administration refused, of course, and bin Laden is free to this day.

The last few years would have been a whole hell of a lot easier had the Bush administration followed up on that offer -- but maybe they didn't actually have any proof? (and obtaining forced confessions several years after the fact from people under interrogation isn't very convincing).
