Obama sorry for U.S. policies during Argentina's 'dirty war'

4. It's a very good article that covers all the major angles - but the title is very misleading.

Obama, it should be noted, never apologized in so many words (that should be Kissinger or Poppy Bush). He simply pointed out that "democracies have to have the courage to acknowledge when we don’t live up to the ideals that we stand for; when we’ve been slow to speak out for human rights. And that was the case here."

Appropriate and eloquent (as always with Obama). But you're right: the GOP will find an "apology" in there somewhere.
