I think it is fair to say - and disingenuous to suggest otherwise, that truly satisfactory evidence will only come from the finding of munitions factories, labs or possibly a significant stockpile of weapons (though really, at this late date, the state of the country being what it has been for the last year and 3 months that wouldn't stand up to most scrutiny).

The problem that would be faced would be similar to that of a police department taking out a warrant against a homeowner on the grounds he was a drug dealer, kicking the owner out for a year, letting all the neighbourhood junkies and gangbangers do whatever they want in the house, and then 16 months later find a piece of crack in the house under the couch and say "See, see! Crack dealer!". It just wouldn't fly in court, other than possibly the court of public opinion.
