Powell Issues Written Apology

The Danish newspaper Politiken published Powell’s letter in its Monday edition. In the letter Powell said, "The President has expressed an apology on behalf of the nation. We will reinforce that apology. I can tell you straight from my heart: We will deal with this. We will see that justice is done."

Meanwhile, it is anticipated that the Danish parliament, which had strongly supported the U.S. in the Iraq war, will soon decide on whether or not Danish soldiers’ tour of duty in Iraq should be extended.
