ABC reported that it had reviewed “dozens of Rev. Wright’s sermons, offered for sale by the church,” and “found repeated denunciations of the U.S. based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans.” Included among what ABC reported was Wright’s now widely-known statement that the September 11 attacks represented “America’s chickens coming home to roost.”
