I am very confused by today’s front page Bee article about the Lodi terrorists. See if you can help me.
A different Hamid Hayat than the one interviewed by the FBI in June – more self-assured, knowledgeable of terrorist training camps and with outspoken anti-American views – emerges from the transcripts of hours of secretly recorded conversations he had in 2003 with an undercover FBI informant.
During the videotaped interview on June 4 and 5, the 23-year-old Hayat . . . confessed to attending a terrorist training camp there in 2003. He appears on the video as weak-willed, very unsure of himself, scared of violence and somewhat confused.
Which is the different one? The self-assured one, or the weak-willed one? Both seem to have been recorded in June, one in 2003 and one in an unspecified year. Do I have to have a timeline to read this story? Am I just not parsing it correctly?
