US to UK…Sorry about the lying

“Sorry”? WTF? Sorry?

U.S. says sorry to UK on rendition flights

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States said on Thursday it had expressed regret to close ally Britain over inaccurate information Washington gave about U.S. planes carrying terrorism suspects that refueled on a British island.

McCormack strongly denied there was an initial cover-up in providing information to the British government about the flights and attributed it to an “administrative error” by the Central Intelligence Agency.

“This was nothing other than an administrative error. People did nothing but act in good faith based on the information that they had,” added McCormack.</em>

Oh, you need a translation? Ok…

“Sorry we almost got caught in yet another lie about our policy of sending little brown people to countries where we’re sure they’ll be tortured, and stopping to fuel up at your place.”

CIA administrative error my ass. At least have fun with lying guys…“Oh, sorry, Alberto Gonzales dog ate our notes…”
