WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A senior State Department diplomat apologized Sunday
for having told the Arab satellite network Al-Jazeera on Saturday that
there is a strong possibility history will show the United States
displayed "arrogance" and "stupidity" in its handling of the Iraq war.

"Upon reading the transcript of my appearance on Al-Jazeera, I realized
that I seriously misspoke by using the phrase 'there has been arrogance
and stupidity' by the U.S. in Iraq," Alberto Fernandez said in an e-mail
sent to reporters by the State Department and attributed to him.

"This represents neither my views nor those of the State Department. I
apologize," the statement said.
