There's a fine article in today's Washington Post (p.A01) (I do read other things besides the NYT...) about Tenet taking the fall for Bush's State of the Union blunder (yes, I know, it's only a blunder because the "revisionist historians" have made it one).

So, the answer to the question is that taking responsibility is not taking responsibility if you don't have to pay any penalty (monetary or other) for it.
What is the opposite? When is taking responsibility really taking responsibility? When you follow the warrior's code of Bush-ido and commit sepeku (plunge a sword into your abdomen and kill yourself). (Of course we are too civilized to do such things, just like we don't harbor blood-feud grudges against people who "at one time" tried to kill our "dad".)
