Yes, club. The guy shredded the documents. This letter wasn't about that -- it was speculation as to why he took the things in the first place.
But what about this made you think that it was apologistic? To me, the letter suggests:
(a) he's a slob, so inadvertence would not be out of character, but
(b) he did admit to taking them intentionally, and
(c) he used to be the head honcho, and often arrogant policymakers have a hard time complying with rules that apply to everyone else, including former head honchos, and
(d) he simply and stupidly thought no one would catch him.
oh, and (e) he'll nebber mirk in dis ciddy again.
Doesn't sound like a pleasant portrait of the man to me, but I thought it was interesting speculation as to why he'd do something stupid like that in the first place. (Trying to cover up his fuckup later is stupid but less mysterious because it's predictable).
If what you want is more articles advocating the thumbscrews, I'm sure they're around somewhere.
