He's going for the foreign footballer defence of saying he was misquoted. Although unlike most footballers caught slagging off their team to home media he may actually be right.

The Express Tribune newspaper in Pakistan reported that he spoke out at a reception last week in direct response to an American reward offered for the capture of a prominent Pakistani radical.
However, footage of his speech, made in Urdu at a conference in Haripur on Friday, indicates that he was misquoted.
Lord Ahmed insisted his words were taken out of context, saying he had instead called for Mr Bush and former Prime Minister Tony Blair to face justice over war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
