"In that case a mob boss should never be convicted of any crime so long as he did not actually perform the hit himself." Your words not mine. Nor does it follow my logic. "The administration is responsible for the conduct of those who serve under it and the conditions it creates (or fails bring) that lead to abuses." I agree. However, we don't throw the president in the brig when a soldier goes AWOL. We punish the soldier and hold the president responsible for the the general organization and policies of the Military. When the policies and conditions are determined to be sound, we leave it at that. If we can determine that the AWOL behavior is symptomatic of organizational deficiencies or excesses, we hold the administration responsible for initiating some changes. Would you prefer that we get a whipping post and place it in the WH lawn.
