Thanks for such a considered posting.
It surprises me the difficulty some have coming to grips with the fact that our society could do anything wrong at all...
I saw Mr Abbott making a comment about it and all he could do was drift to all the reasons why "they" may have been right with little or no understanding that no matter how one tries to justfy the notions that what happened was in someone best interest that there were abuses and mistakes and we really should say that we are sorry about that... and as you have observed you can be sorry without being the person who caused any harm..
I am very sorry that for whatever reason that to say "sorry" just gets caught in some folks craw... it says little about their ability for compassion.

It will be a very good thing for the appology to be made.
