When "guilty" becomes "sorry" (Pravda)
http://english.pravda.ru/mailbox/22/101/399/14413_Alliance.html

Anglo-Saxon Alliance invent new precept as counter-weight to international law

A new precept has taken shape in the international community, that of the Anglo-Saxon Alliance using the public apology as an excuse for its wrong-doings and inventing the logic-defying notion that although they were wrong, they were right.

--snip----

Sorry? Or guilty?

Messrs Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Powell and Blair, how do you plead to the charge that you attacked Iraq illegally, outside the auspices of the UNO, and without any casus belli?

Sorry!

Messrs Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Powell and Blair, how do you plead to the charge that you are responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent civilians in the said attack?

Sorry!

Messrs Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Powell and Blair, how do you plead to the charge that you are responsible for the wounding and occasioning of grievous bodily harm either with intent or through criminal negligence, to tens of thousands of innocent civilians?

Sorry!

2. Pravda can be kind of hokey sometimes..

...but I still think it's worth reading. Where else have you seen such a blunt criticism of Bush/Cheney/Blair et al. in the press?
