I'm going to say this again.

Mr Bush said there was no need to hold any of his officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgements in pre-war planning or managing the aftermath.

Nice try, but I reserve the right to hold any elected or appointed official responsible for their actions. That is the very basis of accountability.
This is just common sense. An elected official, nay any man woman or child, is resposible for their own actions and may be called to task for said actions. They should be expected to be prepared to defend any choice they have made and suffer the consequence's if that choice is found to be incorrect.
That is accountability and it's at the foundation of freedom.
