Here is a longer excerpt of the post 9-11 sermon by Jeremiah Wright. Seen in a fuller context, one discovers that the controversial comments were not actually his words but his citation of an American's diplomat's words. He clearly frames those comments as "a faith footnote." His ultimate point, based on this longer but truncated excerpt, is that the response to 9-11 should be a time of individual self-examination of one's relationship with God rather than a time for thirsting after vengeance. Whether or not one agrees with his comments or approach, it is important to at least know what his view are rather than those constructed by the media.
