I know, I'm confused by it... but it is a good question.
On one hand, I sort of agree... that it's not always possible to control everything that people under you do. But despite that, you are still responsible for their actions.

Brian Burke just got fired as GM of the Canucks. Why? Probably because the team didn't do so well in the playoffs, but they did great during the regular season.
Is it his fault that the team fell apart under the real pressure but could shine when the pressure wasn't on? No... he built a quality team, he did his job great. But still, the team fell apart... and his contract wasn't renewed as a result.
It's his responsibility.... as leader.

It's not the same as torture or rape or other stuff that happened in the prisons, but still.. it's a leadership thing. He wasn't physically on the ice. He was in a cushy owner's box. But he still takes the rap for it.
