You cannot go around imposing your laws on sovereign states. That is imperialism, and is the source of much anger in other nations - even your allies. Respect is what's important.
In this case, be honest. War disregards a sovereign states rights. Call the spade a spade.

I was going to state the same thing (but in a less coherent way
).
Our laws do not apply. We cannot hope that the Taliban will hand over bin Laden, just b/c we tell them he has been indicted for crimes in the US. Even if we show them the facts and all the evidence, they will not hand him over...they will not give a muslim to a non-muslim for justice (I think that has been said here already)...and that is assuming that bin Laden allows himself to be taken alive...I think dying and becoming a martyr is more in his cards!
