Cheney: Accidental Shooting Or... |
By:

One thing is certain. He has lied. He claimed to have been at 90
feet when he fired his weapon. Ballistics would reveal that only
a few BBs would have penetrated the victim (VERY shallow
penetration= minor injuries). By the severity of the wounds you
can reliably figure that Cheney was from 15-18 feet from the
victim when he shot this man in the woods. This would mean that
Cheney perhaps tripped and misfired his weapon- OR, if you want
to go toward a more sinister route, he may have intended to
shoot this 78 year old lawyer. Again, at the very least he lied
about being far away. Any hunter could tell you that bird shot
fired at 90 feet would not do much and would have a very wide
spread(few penetrations- if any). There is also concern about
the fact that police were kept at bay for many hours after the
shooting- something which would land any regular citizen in jail
at least for a while. This would indicate that the Vice
President believes himself to be above the law. Only bad guys
think things like that. If he did lie then the manly thing to do
would be to admit that he lied and tell the entire truth so that
he might not go to prison for as long as he should. This bothers
me much more than the fact that he lied- he has no remorse for
his lies. Maybe he is covering for someone else that was there
and caused the accident. However noble that may be, I think
honesty is pobably one of the most important attributes in a
leader.
