Who's apologizing now?
State Department diplomat Alberto Fernandez is apologizing for his "US is Arrogant, Stupid remark...(how long do you think he'll remain in the State Department after this gaffe?)
CNN: "Upon reading the transcript of my appearance on Al-Jazeera, I realized that I seriously misspoke by using the phrase 'there has been arrogance and stupidity' by the U.S. in Iraq," Alberto Fernandez said in an e-mail sent to reporters by the State Department and attributed to him.
"This represents neither my views nor those of the State Department. I apologize," the statement said.
Fernandez gave the Qatar-based network the 35-minute interview from Washington, where he is director of the Office of Press and Public Diplomacy in the Bureau of Near East Affairs. His apology Sunday differed from a defense of his comments that he made to CNN during an interview Saturday night.
