the terrorists who have followed him. >> reporter: it's the reason we came to this island to interview al faisal, invited by the sheikh himself, who promised he would explain himself once we arrived. when we did arrive, his new agent explunained to us there would be no interview unless we paid $15,000. cnn does not pay for any interviews. but during three telephone conversations and one face-to-face meetis ng, the sheh did try to explain how he was misinterpreted. when he said muslims should fight and kill jews, crips, american christia, americans, and hindus. at was the old sheikh, he told me. "i've reformed since then." >> i am just asking you, do you feel any guilt at all that these men listen to you and then went out and trd to kill people and some of them did kill people? do they listen to many clerics? do you feel any guilt that they listen to you? i'm asking you question. so you will not answer that question right now?
