Abramoff's statement entered with his plea bargain

This is what Jack Abramoff said in court today:

"Your honor, words will not be able to ever express how sorry I am for this, and I have profound regret and sorrow for the multitude of mistakes and harm I have caused. All of my remaining days, I will feel tremendous sadness and regret for my conduct and for what I have done. I only hope that I can merit forgiveness from the Almighty and from those I have wronged or caused to suffer. I will work hard to earn that redemption."

ya know what, jack...? regrets and apologies are never to be taken for granted and i am never disposed to doubt the sincerity of someone who offers them... however, i do wish you had acknowledged in your public statement the tremendous damage you have done to the fabric of your country and that, in your subsequent actions, you will do everything in your power to make amends by revealing the full extent of your criminal activities and identifying all those who were complicit with you in carrying them out... now, THAT would be a REAL APOLOGY...
