If none of them after due consideration and thought did not want to tell anyone then the white house probably should have let everyone know. The only thing that pisses me off about the whole thing is the news median acting so damn upset because no one told them. They demand to but dont have the right to know. We do maybe but they dont have the right to know a god damn thing. Thats coming from someone who has been at odds with the media. I refuse to call the shooting an accident, because it was not (everything happens for a reason). No law has been violated has it?

I think it was an accident, just an extraordinarily stupid one. Anyone with common sense, with gun experience or not, probably knows better then to shoot parallel to the ground, especially in a field where it's tough to see through the brush.

So far I think other then a few permit issues, no law has been violated.

The only issue with Cheney not reporting the incident immediately is the effect of not reporting it immediately. They are reaping what they sow if you ask me. If you're that high profile in the public's eye it's almost always better to get something like this out in the open sooner rather then later.

booze and gun's don't mix..........even if it was one beer..he should have been grounded..gun case locked up......if it was anyone else, they would have been arrested on the spot and would be awaiting trial right now....I'd also go after the ranch owner too for letting them go out after drinking at lunch....

Now thats a stretch....Thats like saying if you have a one beer you should be banned from driving your vehicle. Its all turned into a freakin witch hunt to see who can bring down and destroy Cheney the quickest. Its really getting sickening to watch. But thats the media for ya!

Agree. Haven't we all heard, or all used at one time the line: But I only had one beer?
Gimme me a break.......
Then again, Cheney could be telling the truth - he only had one beer. Just not mentioning the few shots of Jack Daniels that went along with the beer......

I hate bashing this guy but it looks like the flood gates are open!
Not sure if it's true but read he has 2 DWI and got tossed from school because of drinking ?
