Condoleezza Rice apologizes to families of 9/11 victims, saying she feels “deep personal remorse” for not doing enough to prevent the attacks. Speaking at a memorial ceremony at the Pentagon, she says officials “did not see the nature of the danger in time” to stop the 9/11 operation.
Both outlets report that Rice frames the apology around shortcomings in how the threat was understood at the time. The accounts emphasize her admission at the ceremony rather than providing new evidence or details about specific intelligence or actions taken. The New York Post highlights the event and her remarks about authority and awareness, while the Daily Mail summarizes the same apology and the basic message that those in authority failed to recognize the danger early enough. Neither source significantly diverges on the core facts: Rice offers an apology to victim families on the 25th anniversary and links it to a failure to foresee the attack in time.
Overall, the coverage centers on her public remorse and the broader point that, in retrospect, officials believe they did not adequately perceive the threat before 9/11.
