!!!!su Tonka .. thanks very much buddy - interesting the poor choice of woods within the first few uttered by Dick.
I get the feeling that he was pitching off the back foot in the 'interview' .. actually he comes across as clutching at straws. What I wonder is, if this 'apology' could seriously be considered one if it was proffered as a retraction in any defamation action pending.
As for the reason why it occurred .. hardly likely it was driven by the pressing need to admit he was sorry for deriding the ATCO's so, but more pushed into it by the report I'll bet, which seeing as how he can't attack that anymore, he'll go the mob responsible for it..
