Questions about why Vice President Dick Cheney did not tell the public that he had accidentally shot Texas lawyer Harry Whittington during a quail hunting outing in Texas on Saturday continue to persist.
Now the White House is under fire for not releasing information on the Cheney shooting quickly enough. The tension between President Bush's staff and Mr. Cheney's has been palpable, with White House officials whispering to reporters about how they tried to handle the news of the shooting differently.
In NRA terms, this is what they call a circular firing squad. Sit back, watch them squirm and enjoy their secretive sideshow.

Does anyone agree with me that it takes a certain type of person to be able to shoot a living animal out of the sky? I couldn't do it, nor would I ever want to. I'm not an animal rights activist per se, but I find it interesting that it's the NRA gun-lovers who do this kind of thing. In my mind, something's wrong with a person who gets a sense of power or even sport out of shooting a weaker creature as it flys overhead. Would I eat duck as a food? Yes, and I do, it's delicious. But I just couldn't bring myself to pull the switch.

Cheney, like bush, is what psychology refers to as 'exemptions', they think they are above the law--laws are only for the little people. Also, i heard that cheney was in an automobile when he shot the guy. Not only was this a canned hunt against pen-raised quail who had no fear of humans, but it was also a drive-by shooting. What cowardly, sadistic, thugish, rich white trash they are. Gary (NJ)
