Goes both ways. As if disbelieving the Government and accepting outlandish theories with absolutely no proof is any better.
I also love how conspiracy theorists will quote government officials or "Intel officials" (according to Agent_USA_Supporter, who never posted his proof that he KNOWS OBL has been dead since 2001) when it fits with their conspiracy (Osama being dead in 2001), but criticize anyone who believes in what they say when it goes against the conspiracy.
Pop quiz! You're a cop. There's a dangerous guy who already said he hates all cops shooting at you. He's backed up by his boys, who are also shooting at you. He refuses to surrender. What do you do?

What evidence did the U.S government have linking Osama Bin Laden to the attacks on 9/11?
And the answer is........*drum roll* None whatsoever!
Well, he did claim responsibility for the attacks, and never really protested his innocence. If he was innocent, why would he fight to the death? If he can prove his innocence in court, it just makes the US look like complete idiots for hunting him for 10 years. If he can't because of a fixed trial, at least he lived for a few more months.

Use a taser (as cops in America are so fond of using),
Which don't actually prevent people from shooting for more than a few seconds, have shorter range than standard bullets, and there's plenty of other people still firing.
or if I was a Navy Seal, besides a taser, i'd use stun grenades, rubber bullets,
You have tried to shoot someone in a very small area during a 40-min firefight. You have had to stop, expose yourself, aim carefully-
maybe wound him in the leg or arm (after all I'm a Navy Seal, so should be a great shot, right?).
If he is trying to kill you and you have enough for an indictment on separate charges and he refuses to surrender, he gets shot.
But if i had no evidence against him and bringing him in alive would arouse too many awkward questions I'd probably just shoot him outright.
The US asked for OBL, the Taliban refused without proof, or him being extradited to a third-party country, or tried in Islamic court. The US refuses, and goes to war, the Taliban offers him for free, and the US basically goes "you had your chance".

I heard two conflicting things on that one.
One that he admitted and one that he denied.
But what about the press conference where the Taliban offered to hand him over to the USA if they produced evidence linking him to the attacks?
The USA produced no evidence and proceeded to bomb and murder thousands.
Good ol' US OF A!
