I don't see apology. I see a very long explanation about why he won't use the word apology. However, I also see regret and remorse.

I see rationalization and an unwillingness to take responsibility for the horror of what they visited on their victims, but I've amended my comment above.

I go back to my Eric Robert Rudolph example and ask if you'd be satisfied with a similar comment from him?

I see a huge difference between Eric Rudolph and Ayers. However, if, 40 years from now, Rudolph shows that he has spent most of his life trying to improve society and helping others, became a well respected member his community, and demonstrated a significant change in his behavior, and someone associated with him at that time, I wouldn't hold it against that person.
