I can't remember, I'd have to go back and look it up.

My recollection of his most controversial remarks about 9/11, is that it was his sermon the Sunday after 9/11, when vengeance run amok was everywhere, and he was trying to pull his congregation back from that.

IMO, he did the right thing attempting to do that, so I can't diss him for that.

I was more focused on that aspect of the video as I watched.

Wright's subsequent claims this week that he was quoting the Iraq ambassador, was completely off my radar.

Don't know if that helps any, but that is what I'm recalling. The media didn't put Wright's remarks in the context of "the Sunday after 9/11" IMO. Far worse and more inflammatory rhetoric was being spewed in mainstream white churches and synagogues in the wake of 9/11--where they were all screaming for bloody vengeance it seemed at the time--and far more frightening to me at the time.

9/11 brought out the white racist lynch mob--whether parading in god's clothes or the general's clothes. My greatest fear at the time was they closed the borders, so I and my family couldn't get out if we needed to.

Some of us have FBI files for our political activism and political associations over the years, and both my partner and I were, like many of our friends and political associates, terrified for our own personal safety in the weeks that followed 9/11. When the Canadian border was reopened, we heaved a huge sigh of relief.

Scary times, and we still aren't past them. For instance, we are pretty nervous about the RNC coming to our town. My partner & I (when I went to pick him up) got pulled in by airport security coming back from Philly (he was there at the same time as the pres candidates, shooting an unrelated documentary) with his TV camera.

We know better.
