对于网民热切关注的纽约华人状告CNN一案，人民网驻联合国记者将从不同角度分阶段进行跟踪报道。本篇为记者5月7日采访承接此案的律师事务所与状告CNN当事人原告之一梁淑冰女士的第三篇专题报道。
今 天下午2点整，记者再次如约来到海明律师事务所，海明律师向在场的记者出示一份CNN总部发来的公函，然后详细向记者介绍这份公函的情况。海明律师说， 2008年5月6日，CNN负责法律与国际事务的副总裁大卫·维格兰特(David Vigilante)代表CNN以公函的形式向我们律师事务所发来正式道歉信，在这份信中，CNN的高级官员引用卡弗蒂的谈话说，他对于当初攻击中国人民 的辱华言论感到后悔(regret)，他认为这使在中国的公民和生活在美国的华人受到侮辱，他也说到对不起(sorry)。海明律师说，CNN的负责人把 卡弗蒂的道歉又在这份公函中加以重复，寄给了我们，证明了这是CNN到目前为止的官方立场，是regret和sorry。
海明律师说，这是律师事务所目前取得的初步的、阶段性的成果，虽不能说是大获全胜，但相对于前一段时间CNN对中国人民的抗议置之不理、表现出极度傲慢的态度来说，现在CNN终于用正式公函的形式向我们表示道歉。这是世界上全体华人努力抗争的结果。
CNN公函的英文原文是这样的：
May 6, 2008
Dear Mr. Hai,
As you may know, Jack Cafferty recently gave an interview to Bill Press, a nationally syndicated political commentator in the United States. During that interview he was asked about his recent remarks that have been the subject of controversy in China and the United States. Mr. Cafferty responded :"And the one thing I regret was that some Chinese citizens in China and Chinese-Americans in this country felt like maybe I was insulting them. And that was never my intention. And I am sorry for that…"
I hope this clarifies matters for you.
Sincerely,
David C. Vigilante
Vice President-Legal
