#1 we do acknowledge that our actions in publishing the story can be reasonably viewed as insensitive and irresponsible.

That's OK, I don't expect anything else from journalists. That being said, however, how do you plan on making restitution?

#5 Trying to avoid any actions from the military; based on reports yesterday, they were going to pursue charges.....
