he nixed the idea because he couldn't come up with a legal justification for the 9-11 mastermind's extradition.

This is pretty fibbish.

At the time Osama was in Sudan he was not the 9-11 mastermind as that was way before 9-11 was concieved. He was just guy who might do something wrong but hadn't yet done anything to violate U.S. laws. Do you really want the president extraditing every looney around the world who might do something wrong? and then what would he do with all of them?

The fibbish part is to try to place this in the context of events that happened long after.

At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America.

So far thought crimes aren't even covered by the Patriot Act.
