He taken responsibility for the attacks at Dar el Salaam and Nairobi in 
Africa against the USA embassy and the attacks at the U.S. Cole; I 
remember that President Clinton launched attacks against Sudan and 
Afghanistan to retaliate.

He gave orders, someone followed the orders. This is enough to give and 
take responsibility for the attacks. And as the military commander of 
al-Qaeda is his right and duty to take responsibility for what his men did.
The problem is that it is out of fashion to declare a war against 
someone for a war act. Government like to act with an UN mandate, for 
"international police actions", "peacekeeping", "peace-enforcing". So 
they use the courts of criminal justice to try people that don't belong 
there. They are warrior; soldier of an unjust cause, not criminals.
They belong to a war concentration camp for prisoners of war (as illegal 
combatants), not to a jail.

Well, with this standard I suppose that Hitler and Stalin would be 
acquitted and Pol Pot too.
International affairs are a messy thing, more when terrorism and secret 
services are involved. So we do with the few informations we have and 
not with the many we have not.

Given the number of jihadi killed in the last years (al Qaeda only) I 
wonder what they would had done if not urged to combat the US in 
Afghanistan and Iraq. What do you do with training camps for guerilla 
and terrorism for 1.000's of men in Afghanistan and 20.000 trained men?
