A new standard

Previously, the standard for the "non-apology" was delivered by Bruce Boxleitner as Captain John Sheridan in the Babylon 5 episode "The Fall of Night"

I apologize. I'm .. sorry. I'm sorry we had to defend ourselves against an unwarranted attack. I'm sorry that your crew was stupid enough to fire on a station filled with a quarter million civilians, including your own people. And I'm sorry I waited as long as I did before I blew them all straight to hell...
As with everything else, it's the thought that counts.

There's a new standard: This ain't Hell, but you can see it from here » Blog Archive » Open Letter of Apology to TAH Readers, E. Dale Buxton II (Esq.) and Justin Weiss
