They're calling it an apology but...

... but they're not taking any responsibility for wrongdoing. Huh?

I wrote earlier that Marsh & McLennan was nearing a settlement with Eliot Spitzer. Well, they did reach a settlement and it did include a lot of cash and an "apology" (1, 2). But from what I've read, it's hardly an apology. Instead of expressing sorrow for having done wrong, they're blaming their employees. I haven't read everything that's out there, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they're even taking responsibility for improper polices or oversight of the employees.

What good does it do to apologize for someone else?
