It's a 3-page letter addressing several diplomatic issues. A paragraph from the letter includes an apology.
They could redact the letter to only include the apology. Would it be enough to please the right? Probably not because they could redact more BUT to just outright say no after a claim of transparency is just feeding the insanity.
Only the idiots bought into Obama's transparency decleraton and still are. Hell he even received an award for transparency in government. Of course it was behind closed doors with no press allowed too. He is apologizing for the citizens of the US and he should damn well let us know what we're apologizing for.

You KNOW what we're apologizing for. US soldiers destroying copies of their holy books by mistake.
The single paragraph in a diplomatic communique that goes on for three pages isn't going to tell you more. The other matters discussed or not for public eyes. Because they are DIPLOMATIC matters that, if revealed, could have negative consequences.
Grown-ups understand that some matters are confidential.
This is not a matter of transparency, no matter how desperately you want to spin it that way. This is a matter of diplomacy.
I don't see any need to apologize for that. They were using the korans to pass info amongst themselves. They are laughing at us as they wipe their butts with their own versions of the koran. Obama is a joke. Unless of course your a "rebel" fighter in the middle east then he's your best buddy.

I do see a need to apologize for that.
Does my opinion trump your opinion? No. And your opinion doesn't trump the President's opinion, either.
So in the meantime, when the head of our country writes a lengthy letter to the head of another country about sensitive diplomatic issues, issues that involve the lives of American soldiers, you don't get to read the letter. You'll probably get to read it years from now, when its contents aren't quite so sensitive. Because diplomatic communiques aren't expected to be transparent. Which is why this thread isn't about transparency at all. Bash the President about real issues, don't create issues out of thin air, or tin foil, or bizarre rationales.
