Sorry??

It is said that Tony Blair has finally apologised for the Iraq war.  But has he?  It's all to do with an interview which he has given to CNN in America.  The interview has not yet been aired, but a transcript of it has been put out.  He's said that he's sorry "for the fact that the intelligence we received was wrong".  And yet, that's not the question that I at least want him to address.  The question is - did he know (or even suspect) that it was wrong?  Did he mislead Parliament - and us - by presenting as fact things that he knew to be untrue, or at best dodgy?  And his apology comes nowhere near to answering that question.
