| Schroeder apologizes... |
| 2002-09-20 |
| German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder apologized in a letter to President Bush Friday for the offense caused by reports that his justice minister had compared Bush's methods to Hitler's. Schroeder told Bush: "I want to let you know how much I regret the fact that alleged comments by the German justice minister have given an impression that has offended you." That's good manners... He said he had accepted Daeubler-Gmelin's denial and added, according to a German text provided by his office: "Let me assure you that there is no place at my cabinet table for anyone who makes a connection between the American president and such a criminal." Ummm... The paper stands by its story. The witnesses stand by their story. Maybe she should consider a new career in the food service industry? |
