This is something I don't understand - to apologize to the families, anymore than has already been done, would imply that the administration was to blame for or caused the attack, instead of the attack being the act of terrorism. Nothing has shown that either the current administration or the last one knew what was going to happen other than non-specific chatter, threats, rumblings. No one has identified what if anything the administration could have done to prevent the attacks. An apology should/would be dismissed as a public relations ploy.
