If he wants to blames someone, he'd to better to blame usually religious-based lobby groups. But that wouldn't fit into his usual narratives, so I guess the government it is.
They do it for votes and contributions. They do it for hire. I guess that it is also voluntary, but only in the sense that if they don't do it, they don't paid.
[I know, politicians are salaried, too. Let's make a distinction...]
Adams equally condemned all involved. If someone tortured your father in the traditional sense, it would not get them off to say "I was doing it for hire" nor would the hands be clean of those who paid the torturer.
I see nothing inconsistent about holding all parties involved responsible.
