Which is it? "Touching generosity" or "Unwelcome anywhere"?

I'm confused, it seems that two quotes from the same article, in the Guardian Unlimited, contradict each other:

1. "The tourists have encountered only generosity from ordinary Afghans. 'We make quite a stir wherever we go,' said Dick Bogart, a retired computer salesman from San Francisco and grandfather of 10. 'It's been very touching.' "

2. "My main object in life is to get Bush out of the White House," said Connie Pencall, a retired teacher. "He is a terrible, terrible man. We are not welcomed anywhere any more."

Ahh. Maybe it's the obligatory bashing of President Bush that caused the confusion.
