Taking Responsibility
From the CNN piece:
"Clarke began his testimony with an apology to loved ones of those roughly 3,000 people killed in the attacks on airliners, the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
"'Your government failed you, and I failed you,' he said. 'We tried hard, but that doesn't matter because we failed you. And for that failure, I would ask, once all the facts are out, for your understanding and for your forgiveness.'"
That doesn't sound to me like someone who's passing the buck. So far, the witnesses at the hearing who I've heard have also minimized the finger-pointing. In addition to being an honorable approach, it could also be electorally effective. Think about it.
