More On Cheney

While I believe this was a stupid accident and am not a conspiracy theorist, some interesting questions came up while watching commentary about the quail incident.

1. Expert hunters on one program commented that a 28 gauge shotgun is not very powerful at all, and they were stymied as to how the victim could have received such injuries using that gun, at 30 yards away.

2. The sherrif's office determined that alcohol was not a factor here. How can they make such a statement when they did not even get to interview Cheyney until 14 hours after the incident? Did they take his word for it?

3. The incident happened near Chorpus Christi, a city with top notch medical facilities, yet he was taken to a hospital much further away, a very small hospital. When it was determined that they could not treat the victim, the was then moved to a larger facility. Some are wondering if this was an effort to maintain secrecy. Why all the efforts for secrecy?

If it was an accident, then an accident is an accident, it happens in hunting. One could assume that it is nothing more than Cheyney's MO (which I tend to believe), but others might think that there is more than meets the eye here. The media is all over this story, and it's noone's fault but Cheyney's due to his need for secrecy. It backfired. Now all of the conspiracy theorists are taking this to an unbeleiveable level. But that's what happens when you think you are not accountable to American Citizens when you hold high political office...wether the situation be a war or an accident hunting quail.
