http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGB54L2FWBE.html

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) - British Prime Minister Tony Blair sent his regrets to Brazil on Tuesday for the killing of a Brazilian man mistaken for a terrorist in London, the president's office said.

Blair telephoned Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and said England "is going through difficult times as a result of terrorist acts," the president's office said in a statement.

3. Blair may be a poodle, but at least he has enough to admit mistakes.

Blair also has intelligence, culture, he reads books, speaks eloquently and can eat pretzels without chokeing.

10. Maybe poodle doesn't want to bankrupt the taxpayers...
...and just hopes the family will accept his apology, and then drop the lawsuit? Never trust these imperialists...
