There is little doubt that Rev. Wright is a kooky preacher (although way less insane than say Pat Robertson). Senator Obama was correct when he broke with Wright for comments about AIDS and for his bizarre caricatures of President Kennedy and "white" marching bands, etc.
Same goes for the New York Times editorial page. But they are both wrong for criticizing Wright when "He suggested that America was guilty of “terrorism” and so had brought the 9/11 attacks on itself."
If you don't think that the US (like any dominant international power) doesn't practice terrorism, then you are ignoring reality. Sorry, patriotism does not give you an free pass to ignore history.
