Accountability?
Gosh, no!
Rummy "doesn't recall" when he learned of Pat Tillman's murder -- "Meh."

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld testified today that he didn't recall precisely when he learned of Tillman's death. "It could have been internally or it could have been through the press," he said.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, asked Rumsfeld how he could not have known that Tillman was killed by American troops.

"You're talking about an institution of something like 3 million people -- active duty, reserve, guard, civilians, contractors," Rumsfeld said. "It's not possible for someone to know all the things that are going on. I was just the Defense Secretary, for the love of pete. You gotta go with the Defense Secretary you have, not the Defense Secretary you want."

Rummy has "rejected personal responsibility" for the whole fiasco.
