Rumsfeld and Responsibility

And now for my final thought for today: Donald Rumsfeld said he "takes responsibility" for the torture (he calls it "abuse") in Iraq by U.S. forces. What are the meaning of the words "take responsibility?" It seems language has lost all meaning in the Bush Administration. "I take responsibility." BUT "I won't resign." So where' does the buck stop, ay Rummy? Not in your office? Not in your boss's office?

Sign on the Oval Office door: "The buck doesn't stop here. It's John Kerry's fault."
