What is the point of remembering *and forgiving WILLINGLY* ?
The _official_ death toll is 241.
Hail right to rule by deadly force.

OK, let's not forgive.
It fades away anyway.
IMHO best approach for CPC would be "Not *the best* course of action
(by current standards) a few leaderships ago". I would be "not the
best" without implying (plain) "bad".
<cynicism> You may give the date explicitly instead of writing anything
about forgiving. The effect would be very similar in political
practice. </cynicism>
P.S. Whenever you refresh "yesterday's news" (even important+)
always put the date in the subject. It is a very good practice IMHO.
