Really folks, the use of the word regret is confusing you? When someone says they regret an action, that
is an apology.
If you don't believe me look up the definition yourself in dictionary.com:
Quote:
re·gret [ri-gret]
verb (used with object)
1. to feel sorrow or remorse for (an act, fault, disappointment, etc.): He no sooner spoke than he regretted it.

Now, if the discussion now shifts to how "good" or "bad" an apology this is, we are going well beyond a farce over this and are now sinking to a new low of "Gotcha!" politics.
