"Not according to our government. Our government is saying "harboring" has to do with Afghanistan's refusal to turn ben Laden over to the United States on demand. Of course, the Afghanis seem to think that they should see the evidence first. Isn't that silly of them?" - tex-oma.
This whole argument you two are attempting to make is misleading at best since there never was an offer to turn Sammi over to us that was contingent upon us providing evidence. The Taliban said that if we provided them evidence and they found it compelling, they would turn him over to an Islamic court. Surely, you would not call that being responsive to our demands?
And we don't have a responsibility to respect their sovereignty (being that we believe [supposedly] in allowing nations and people to make their own informed choices in peace)?
We didn't even show them evidence. We demanded that they hand him over without even a single shred of evidence.
We said "Hand him over or we'll kill you."
And this is supposedly the "American way."
Feeling patriotic?
