I have to admit, if VP Cheney actually did wheel around 180 degrees and discharge the weapon (which I've heard one person say) that is pretty much as stupid as asking whether it would have been more serious if Mr Whittington died.

This story is fueled by a lack of facts combined with the nature of a large number of people to automatically disbelieve the administration. We'll know more when Mr Whittington hits the talkshow circuit and/or writes his book.


Edit:
Sheriff's Report

Maybe it's 50/50 walking up behind a hunting party and not announcing yourself and spinning around and shooting behind you without clearing the area first. I'd say both guys made unfortunate errors here.

I think there are too many views of this story going around for anyone to make an honest opinion about this situation. But who's talking honest? It's the government.

The guy is an 80 year old republican laywer, even if he did die you think anyone who was there is going to say Cheney was negligent? I'm not talking conspiracy, just that no one who would actually be able to give evidence would want to put their buddy the VP in the shit over an accident.

I don't know, if my "buddy"'s people went around telling everyone it was my own fault that he SHOT ME IN THE fuck*ng FACE, I don't care if he's the King of England, I'd be pretty pissed off.

back of the front page in the Charlotte (north carolina) observer:
"Cheney could face charges if victim dies".

hooorah for investigative journalism.
