#1 "But the (political) administration will use local tribal laws to apprehend the perpetrators of the crime"

In other words, it's time to charge the batteries on the DeWalt circular saw and drill combo pack.

Come to think of it, this is an excellent politically correct quote. The Pentagon spokesman should memorize this quote. Anytime we are accused of torture, we say that, we are using "local tribal laws" to obtain information.

BTW, why not use the local tribal laws to apprehend Been Laden?

#2 Because using the local tribal laws effectively means finding out if the perps are connected with any big turbans. If they are, well, it must have been somebody else.

Binny's connected with the Learned Elders of Islam. Therefore, it musta been the Zionists, which is why they're peculiarly lackadaisical in looking for him. Expect the same if the perps belong to a status subtribe.

#3 Then they need to be scattered? No tribes?

#4 Tribal law makes the tribe responsible finding and punishing culprits. If they fail to do this, then the tribe is collectively punished.
