Too bad we don't have a president like Truman anymore.

There is absolutely no accountability in the current Bush administration. In the real world, people get fired for mistakes that make their CEO look bad in public. How about the intelligence that Bush claimed that Iraq was getting nuclear materials from Niger? Proven completely false but one of the mainstays of Bush's State of the Union address. Nobody fired.
Since people are not reprimanded for providing bad intelligence to the Commander in Chief, they have no incentive to check the validity of their intelligence. Perhaps if anyone was held responsible for their misinformation, others would get the message.
