I gave you two quotes from Sandy Berger saying the US didn't want OBL in '96 because they were handling terrorism as a legal problem - just like Kerry wants to do. "The FBI did not believe we had enough evidence to indict bin Laden at that time, and therefore opposed bringing him to the United States," said Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger, who was deputy national security adviser then. That's Sandy Berger quoted in the Washington Post. Here's another Sandy Berger quote showing the Clinton administration didn't want to take custody of OBL: when challenged as to why the Clinton Administration passed up on the offer of bin Laden's extradition, Samuel Berger stated: "In the United States, we have this thing called the Constitution, so to bring him here is to bring him into the justice system. I don't think that was our first choice." (8) sudan.net Needless to say, he wouldn't even be talking about OBL being brought to the US if that wasn't a possibility at the time.
