I believe Anwar when he said he did not manipulate what Syeikh Yusuf said regarding his sodomy case. But what everyone should know about this video, is that it is very general in nature- specifically Syeikh delivers a fatwa that every Muslim should know-about zina/sodomy/fitnah-are big sins.
What Anwar is trying to imply from the video is that he is being 'fitnah' by Saiful. In a way, he is trying to manipulate people into thinking that he is being 'fitnah.' But how can this be, when Saiful claimed that he was being sodomised against his will (now, here we talk about physical forced or perhaps mental force-Anwar was after all a man with power to some1 like Saiful and his fear for him might overpower any resistance over him). Furthermore, Anwar was his saviour, helping him with his study and had given him a lot of opportunities that he could never imagine in his young adult life.
Now, Syeikh is right, nothing wrong with the fatwa. But, to say the least that the fatwa is directed towards Anwar's predicament, I would have to disagree. He did not manipulate Qaradawi's words, but he indeed tried to manipulate people into thinking that he is innocent.
