Not necessarily, people say 'I'm sorry for your loss.' But further investigation is required.
You did not get the meaning it seems. Condolences, and apology, are entirely two different things.
Two cases:
1. You are my enemy, I kill you, and offer my heartfelt condolences to your wife. Does it mean I regret killing you? Hell no, I would think I rightly killed you and do not regret it, but I feel bad for your wife.
2. You look like my enemy but you are NOT my enemy, I kill you, and later realize my mistake. I offer my most sincere apologies and I deeply regret killing you because what I did was wrong and your death is my loss as well.
Cameron Munter's expression falls in the first scenario. And that is not an apology. An apology is offered only when you regret what you did, and you know what you did was a mistake and was wrong.
