White House apologizes to former USDA official accused of racism

(CNN) -- White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Wednesday that the administration owes former USDA official Shirley Sherrod an apology.

"I would do that on behalf of this administration," Gibbs said at the daily White House press conference. "A disservice was done. An apology was owed. That's what we've done. Decisions were made based on an incomplete set of facts. Members of this administration, members of the media, members of different political factions ... have all made determinations and judgments without a full set of facts."
