Dinesh D'Souza admitted as much on The Colbert Report:

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/01/17/colbert-nails-dinesh-dsouza/

   Colbert: So, what other cultural editing notes should we take from

   the terrorists?

   D'Souza: It's not editing notes, it's a of matter...

   Colbert: No, no, I mean, I agree with you: there are some good ideas

   these guys have. This is what you're saying, that there are some

   parts of our culture that are corrosive, and you agree with some of

   the things that they're saying.

   D'Souza: I'm saying that...

   Colbert: No, you have the courage to say that, right? That you

   agree with some of the things these radical extremists are against

   in America. (I'm concerned more ) Do you agree with that statement? 

   (Well, I'm, no ) Just do you agree with that statement?

   D'Souza: I agree with it. But (Okay, good.)
