We're so sorry, Uncle Albert

A story from AP news yesterday (h/t Crooks & Liars)
Bush said sympathetic to Tillman family
President Bush hopes someone is held responsible for the U.S. military’s mishandling of information about the death of former football star Pat Tillman in Afghanistan, the White House said Wednesday.
Tillman was killed on April 22, 2004, and it took more than a month for his family to learn the true story. According to deputy press secretary Dana Perino, Bush learned about the circumstances of the death after his memorial service on May 3, 2004: "It's not clear people don't remember if he (Bush) heard it from media reports, or if he heard it from the Pentagon, but it was sometime after the funeral."

There are a number of the what did he know and when did he know it questions out there, but it seems to me that the Commander-in-Chief''s three year silence since then says most of what we really need to know. Comments Michael at Discourse.net:

That sound you hear is brains leaking out all over America. See, the Tillman case involves many high-ranking people in the Army — Colonels and Generals and perhaps even high-ranking civilian officials — engaged in a knowing and willful conspiracy to cover up and then lie to the public about the circumstances of Pat Tillman’s death. There is a chain of command here, and someone is a the top of it, either someone in a uniform or someone in a Pentagon. And either way, they report to one GW Bush.

Would somebody please tell me what exactly "responsible" means, as in take responsibility, or be held responsible? The one thing for sure with The Regime is that, as Michael entitles his posting, "The Buck Doesn't Even Stop By For Visits."
