Like you said, they didn't have control over portions of their own country. And you honestly believe they had the ability to just hand Osama over to the U.S. if they so wished? Yeah, right. They knew they were effed, and couldn't do a damn thing about it.
And if you honestly want proof that Osama Bin Laden was behind 9/11, you could start with Osama Bin Laden himself admitting that he was behind it.
That could be a start.

I apologize for my lazy spacing.
According to what you wrote, not only did the Taliban have absolutely nothing to do with 9/11, but they had no way of handing over bin Laden. Then can i ask why the US has been in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban for almost a decade now? The quest for bin Laden is all but over. Why is NATO still in Afghanistan? And please don't give me the humanitarian response, because, let's be realistic, invading a country with tanks and bombs is quite different from being there for humanitarian reasons. There are better places to put American tax dollars if you want to save people, and there are better ways to go about helping a population.
Yeah you can point to the tape of bin Laden talking in Arabic and 'confessing' to the attacks. There is debate about whether he actually admits it or not. There is also instances where he says he was not responsible. Point is...the US has no proof he was responsible, and people will only highlight and prop up pieces of info that are beneficial to them ie. the US claiming he admitted to it. If you look around you can find direct quotes from bin Laden in western media denying involvement.
