RE: Who's to blame?
I've always thought that Booth would have been caught eventually, but that it might have taken much longer. I don't think we can under estimate what an advantage a healthy leg would have been to Booth, but we also can't under estimate the forces that were looking for him. As far as who is to blame, it's pretty hard to put on one person. There were several who chipped in/shared the blame, as is to be expected in that kind of situation.
