The Disappearing Apology: State Department Removes “Hurt Feelings” Apology to Riotters

Chicago Daily Observer 13 September 2012 2 Comments

Here is what it said yesterday

The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others

Here is what the embassy says today

    I bet there are a bunch of people who wish they could redact their own press releases.

    ……….in George Orwells Classic The Ministry of Truth had memory holes*, where the ‘inaccurate’ news releases could be deposited so an ‘accurate’,redaction, or none at all could be released.
    What does the obama [pbuh] administration call its memory holes?

    *In the novel, the memory hole is a slot into which government officials deposit politically inconvenient documents and records to be destroyed.
