[PW] Where are Wright's AIDS remarks?

[Blake Walter]

Here's a reader-friendly transcript of Wright's full remarks to the
National Press Club on 4/28/2008:

nscript.php

And this appears to be a fairly complete transcript of his 4/13/2003
sermon:

This is the sermon that includes the original comment quoted so many
other places:

"The government lied about adventing [SEE NOTE BELOW] the HIV virus as a
means of genocide against people of color. Governments lie. The
government lied about a connection between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein,
and are connected between 9/11/01 and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Governments lie. The government lied about weapons of mass destruction
in Iraq being a threat to the United States peace. And guess what else?
If they don't find them some weapons of mass destruction, they're going
to do just like the LAPD, and plant them some weapons of mass
destruction. Governments lie."

I think there is some confusion over whether Wright said "adventing" or
"inventing" -- most places, he is quoted as saying "inventing".

I have been searching without success for a primary source -- actual
transcript or video -- and am a little surprised to find only hearsay. I
know that he did address the issue in his National Press Club
conference, but only by referring to a book on the topic. What did he
actually say originally and when?
