Some choice quotes:
"Wrongdoers turned a good newsroom bad and this was not fully understood or adequately pursued."
"As a result, the News of the World and News International wrongly maintained that these issues were confined to one reporter."
"The paper made statements to Parliament without being in the full possession of the facts. This was wrong."
"The company paid out-of-court settlements approved by me. I now know that I did not have a complete picture when I did so. This was wrong and is a matter of serious regret."
Just read it, it is all complete bullshit, who honestly believes that he did not have the "complete picture" when those settlements were made... Let's face it, settlements were made precisely because they HAD the complete picture. Does anyone think that they did not have "full possession of the facts"? This is careful phrasing to avoid admitting to lying to parliament which is what I for one think they did.
"So, just as I acknowledge we have made mistakes.."
This is laughable, using double-speak in acknowledging mistakes that are not the mistakes you actually made is meaningless.
