The same NYT article says:

"One of the statements that have been most replayed this week comes from the sermon Mr. Wright delivered following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards," he said. "America's chickens are coming home to roost."

Don't forget--Ward Churchill, a tenured University of Colorado professor, was recently fired by the Board of Regents for saying the same damn thing as Wright, nearly word for word--the chickens coming home to roost thing.
