But Moose is just a cynic to the nth degree, to the point where I shall openly accuse him of being an anarchist. Seriously, if Obama's responsible for the actions of all his soldiers, then he's responsible for Wikileaks. All praise him!
Responsibility =/= blame. Yes, he is responsible for the soldiers under his command, including any that are leaking classified information. He is not to blame for that happening, provided that he had no knowledge of it occurring beforehand and had done everything possible to prevent it.

I know. I'm just trying to keep the concept of military responsibility for the actions of subordinates clear, since people keep confusing it.
