I believe that the ones responsible are being held accountable.

I believe you believe that. I also believe that you would like to believe those 7 kids are the only ones who *are* responsible.

To that end, there is *clear* information and documents and hence reason to believe that --- at the very least --- Rumsfeld signed off on stuff that did not conform with the "Rule of Law" quoted above (and on the linked page).

If he signed off on actions that didn't conform with that "Rule of Law", that would make Rumsfeld accountable.

If Bush did same, the same would be true for him.

Though I have a feeling you haven't bothered to actually look to close at *those* documents. The ones that, so far, *have* been made available, as you likely would not like the conclusions that they lead to.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, however, encourage you to go take a look at what *is* available (not just what Rush and Sean tell you about), and then surprise us all with a statement of Moral Clarity and Intellectual Honesty based on those documents.

I don't believe you'll be able to avoid certain very clear conclusions if you use those two ideas (Moral Clarity and Intellectual Honesty) as guidelines while you research.

Then he should be held accountable. But, from the silence of the liberal media and the silence of congress, "those" documents ("those" - that's specific) must not be true.
