6. his apology is on
his site- and if you read it- (please do) you'll only respect him all the more i believe-

His apology was NOT about the 'tactics' used- but towards those who lived through the Nazi regimes, and Stalin times, and to make sure that the soldiers who were 'serving' in Gitmo and thier families were not hurt by his remarks-

He didn't apologize for our 'policies' or for the 'talking heads' that are making Gitmo exist-

he also said:
“Some may believe that my remarks crossed a line. To them, I extend my heartfelt apologies.”

“There's usually a quote from Abraham Lincoln that you can turn to in moments like this. Maybe this is the right one. Lincoln said, ‘If the end brings me out right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, 10,000 angels swearing I was right wouldn't make any difference.’”
