The reason for the agreement is also practical. Regardless of who is in power it becomes impossible for governments anywhere to operate effectively if they are all running around knocking off each other's leaders.
Keep in mind that Bin Laden is not a government leader but a terrorist. The U.S. has been trying to bring him to justice for some time, but they don't have to worry about simply capturing him now. My guess would be that now the intelligence community is able to use tactics that they were contrained from using before.
What role Saddam Hussein may have had in all of this may actually put this on the table.
