The problem with
"personal accountability" is that when these
"10 or more people" are
"present" (as you say) you can assume that one of them has his/her own personal agenda payed for by an outside agency. The word CIA comes to mind, as an example. It's the rotten apple again.

I agree. I don't think that Saddam has ever even been to a 7/11 store -
never mind him having the ability to attack one!
