How do you get shot in the head AND the heart with a single gunshot?
Of course, the Magic Bullet Theory originated in Dallas. It's almost
like that reporter for Mercury News (Gary Webb) who allegedly
suicided himself with TWO shots to the head, after narcing on CIA's
narco crack epidemic. Hard to do with a revolver.

I'm glad my wife turned down Cheney's job offer to work directly for
him as SecDef at Pentagon in 1992:

The shooting occurred just a couple of days after Cheney's ex-chief
of staff Scooter Libby ratted him out to a fed judge, prosecutor and
grand jury for TREASON, as the TRAITOR who illegally ordered him to
leak the name of CIA agents to the media.

So the shooting may have gone like this:

$$$$$$$$$$$$$


Whittington: Dick, what the hell were you thinking, ordering that
little faggot to do your dirty work? And ya oughta take it easy on
that Jim Bean. At least wait until after the hunt. You're starting to
scare me...

Cheney: Grrrrrrr! Go fuck yourself!

Whittington: As your lawyer, I can tell you that was a very stupid
thing to do. Did you know you can get the death penalty for that?

Cheney: PULL! BAM BAM! Wasn't it Shakespeare who said to kill all the
lawyers? Fuckin' pussy! You shoulda fucked yourself. Did ya see
Deliverance? That's my favorite movie... I'm gonna make ya squeal
like a pig! Now I'm gonna ream ya like I reamed Al Gore!

Relevant EXCERPT from TRANCE Formation of America, by Cathy O'Brien
and Mark Phillips, as testified in Tennessee Courts, and ordered
LEGAL by judges "for (t)reasons of national security":


The Most Dangerous Game

During Christmas vacation of 1974, my father flew us all to Disney
World by route of Tampa, Florida. Ignorant of geography, it did not
occur to me that Tampa was out of the way to Disney World until my
father drove the rented van to the gates of MacDill Air Force Base.
Military personnel met me there and escorted me into the base TOP
SECRET high tech mind control conditioning facility for "behavioral
modification" programming. This was the first in what became a
routine series of mind control testing and/or programming sessions on
government installations that I would endure throughout my Project
Monarch victimization.

Whether I was in a military, NASA, or government building, the
procedure for maintaining me under total mind control remained
consistent with Project Monarch requirements. This included prior
physical and/or psychological trauma; sleep, food, and water
deprivation; high voltage electric shock; and hypnotic and/or
harmonic programming of specific memory compartments/ personalities.
The high tech equipment and methodisms I endured from that time on
gave the U.S. government absolute control of my mind and life. I had
been literally driven out of my conscious mind and existed only
through my programmed subconscious. I lost my free will, ability to
reason, and could not think to question anything that was happening
to me. I could only do as I was told.

In the summer of 1975, my family drove all the way from Michigan to
the Teton Mountains of Wyoming. I was ordered to ride in the back
storage area of the family Chevy Suburban since I was forbidden to
associate or communicate with my brothers and sister. So I
dissociated into books, or into the metaphorical, hypnotic
suggestions from my father and tranced deeper as I watched the
prairie's seemingly endless sea of "amber waves of grain" streak past
my window. Once when we stopped at a gas station, my father took me
inside to show me a stuffed "jackalope" mounted on the wall. Due to
my tranced, dissociative state and high suggestibility level, I
believed it was indeed a cross between a jack rabbit and antelope. It
was 100+ degrees in the Badlands when it cooled down at night. The
intense heat of the day accentuated my ever increasing thirst. My
father was physically preparing me though water deprivation for the
intense tortures and programming I would endure in Wyoming.

Dick Cheney, then White House Chief of Staff to President Ford (Ford
was born Leslie Lynch King Jr - WhiteHouse.gov), later Secretary of
Defense to President George Bush, documented member of the Council on
Foreign relations (CFR), and Presidential hopeful for 1996, was
originally Wyoming's only Congressman. Dick Cheney was the reason my
family had traveled to Wyoming where I endured yet another form of
brutality -- his version of "A Most Dangerous Game," or human hunting.

It is my understanding now that A Most Dangerous Game was devised to
condition military personnel in survival and combat maneuvers. Yet it
was used on me and other slaves known to me as a means of further
conditioning the mind to the realization there was "no place to
hide," as well as traumatize the victim for ensuing programming. It
was my experience over the years that A Most Dangerous Game had
numerous variations on the primary theme of being stripped naked and
turned loose in the wilderness while being hunted by men and dogs. In
reality, all "wilderness" areas were enclosed in secure military
fencing whereby it was only a matter of time until I was caught,
repeatedly raped, and tortured.

Dick Cheney had an apparent addiction to the "thrill of the sport."
He appeared obsessed with playing A Most Dangerous Game as a means of
traumatizing mind control victims, as well as to satisfy his own
perverse sexual kinks. My introduction to the game occurred upon
arrival at the hunting lodge near Greybull, Wyoming, and it
physically and psychologically devastated me. I was sufficiently
traumatized for Cheney's programming, as I stood naked in his hunting
lodge office after being hunted down and caught. Cheney was talking
as he paced around me, "I could stuff you and mount you like a
jackalope and call you a two legged dear. Or I could stuff you with
this (he unzipped his pants to reveal his oversized penis) right down
your throat, and then mount you. Which do you prefer?"

Blood and sweat became mixed with the dirt on my body and slid like
mud down my legs and shoulder. I throbbed with exhaustion and pain as
I stood unable to think to answer such a question. "Make up your
mind," Cheney coaxed. Unable to speak, I remained silent. "You don't
get a choice, anyway. I make up your mind for you. That's why you're
here. For me to make you a mind, and make you mine/mind. You lost
your mind a long time ago. Now I'm going to give you one. Just like
the Wizard (of Oz) gave Scarecrow a brain, the Yellow Brick Road led
you here to me. You've 'come such a long, long way' for your brain,
and I will give you one."

The blood reached my shoes and caught my attention. Had I been
further along in my programming, I perhaps would never have noticed
such a thing or had the capability to think to wipe it away. But so
far, I had only been to MacDill and Disney World for
government/military programming. At last, when I could speak, I
begged, "If you don't mind, can I please use your bathroom?"

Cheney's face turned red with rage. He was on me in an instant,
slamming my back into the wall with one arm across my chest and his
hand on my throat, choking me while applying pressure to the carotid
artery in my neck with his thumb. His eyes bulged and he spit as he
growled, "If you don't mind me, I will kill you. I could kill you --
Kill you -- with my bare hands. You're not the first and you won't be
the last. I'll kill you any time I goddamn well please." He flung me
on the cot-type bed that as behind me. There he finished taking his
rage out on me sexually.

On the long trip back to Michigan, I lay in a heap behind the seats
of the Suburban, nauseated and hurting from Cheney's brutality and
high voltage tortures, plus the whole Wyoming experience. My father
stopped by the waterfalls flowing through the Tetons to "wash my
brain" of the memory of Cheney. I could barely walk through the woods
to the falls for the process as instructed, despite having learned my
lessons well from Cheney on following orders.

The next year when our "annual" trip to Disney World rolled around,
my father drove, pulling his new Holiday Rambler Royale International
trailer. My father dropped me off en route at the Kennedy Space
Center in Titusville, Florida where I was subjected to my first NASA
programming. From then on, I was "obsessed" with following
the "Yellow Brick Road" to Nashville, Tennessee. Moving to Nashville
was all I could talk about. If anyone asked me the question I could
not think to ask myself "Why?", I would respond by reiterating it was
something "I had to do."

FOX VIDEO: Vegas 'Game' Has Men Hunting Nude Women
"A new Las Vegas game gets thrill-seekers out of the casinos and into
the great wide open — to shoot naked women with paintball guns.
In 'Hunting for Bambi,' men pay $10,000 each for the challenge of
tracking the women, who are nude except for sneakers, and trying to
blast them with colored paint. According to the site, the hunters
also have the option of mounting their prey when they're done — and
having sex with the women. Women's groups and legal experts are, not
surprisingly, up in arms over the cruel game. 'I couldn't quite
believe it. The site advertised this as really hurting people,' said
legal expert Susan Estrich on Fox News. 'They're violating about 20
criminal laws, including assault.' The National Organization for
Women has also spoken out against the game. 'It's appalling, and it's
really frightening,' Rita Haley, president of NOW's New York City

want to play this game and something about the financial climate that
drives women to participate. The big fear is that somebody who plays

Deadeye Dick (Soused?) Blasts Hunting Host

If Stupidity was Impeachable, Cheney'd be History

By Dave Lindorff
2-12-6
http://thiscantbehappening.net

Deadeye Dick, vice president and regent of this great nation, set out
to shoot himself a quail in Texas this weekend, but swung around and
unloaded his shotgun at his hunting companion, attorney Harry
Whittington, this weekend, sending the unfortunate and no doubt
surprised man to the hospital, his face and chest full of shot.

It was vintage Cheney when you think of it.
With the country loaded and on the hunt for Osama Bin Laden in
Afghanistan, Cheney and his neo-con gang swung the army around and
fired at Saddam Hussein and Iraq, leaving that country staggering and
massively wounded. Like the quail he took his eye off of, Osama and
his gang are free as...well, birds, plotting more mayhem.

Meanwhile, Deadeye Dick, having created a bloody mess in Iraq, has
already gotten his ward President Bush to swing around towards Syria
and Iran. He and Bush have already decided they've spent enough
on "building" Iraq, so now they're about to blast Iran and/or Syria.

If Iraq is any indication of this man's sense of responsibility and
willingness to pay for his mistakes , Whittington better have some
good insurance--either that or a good lawyer. Cheney's liable to just
split and leave Whittington with the bill.

I guess, given the Vice President's demonstrated skill with a gun, we
should probably be glad he ducked the draft and missed Vietnam
because of his "other priorities." He probably would have ended up
being one of those dumb bozos who were responsible for so many of
those "friendly fire" casualties over there.

Which raises the question: Was the VEEP, like so many tough-guy
hunters, juiced for this hunt? That would add the element of
negligence to his basic stupidity. There are some suspicious things
about this incident:

* First off, Cheney waited 24 hours to report the shooting. Very odd.
His office claimed it was "out of respect" for the owner of the
property, Katherine Armstrong, who claims she forgot for a day
because of concerns for Whittington. Could the delay have had more to
do with clearing Cheney's blood of alcohol, and getting everyone's
stories lined up?

* Second, the story that Whittington exited the vehicle the tough-guy
hunters were riding in to look for a quail he'd just shot, and that
Cheney then got out to check out a second covey of quail sounds
queer. When someone fires a shotgun, typically all quail in the area
take flight. It seems unlikely Cheney could have found another covey
right nearby.

*Third, news reports say the incident was reported to the local
paper, but not to the local police, which is a requirement in the
case of any shooting involving serious injury.

Anyhow, I'll bet Antonin Scalia and the other rabid right judges on
the Supreme Court will think twice before they accept another invite
from big Dick to go hunting with him.

More Questions Raised About Delay in Reporting Cheney Misfire

By Greg Mitchell

Published: February 13, 2006 10:20 PM ET updated Monday

NEW YORK The more than 18-hour delay in news emerging that the vice
president of the United States had shot a man, sending him to an
intensive care unit with his wounds, grew even more curious Monday
with word from the White House that President Bush had been informed
of the incident Saturday but not immediately about Dick Cheney's role.

Earlier, E&P had learned that the official confirmation of the
shooting came about only after a local reporter in Corpus Christi,
Texas, received a tip from the owner of the property where the
shooting occurred and called Vice President Cheney's office for
confirmation.

The confirmation was made but it is not known for certain that
Cheney's office, the White House, or anyone else intended to announce
the shooting if the reporter, Jaime Powell of the Corpus Christi
Caller-Times, had not received word from the ranch owner.

One of Powell's colleagues at the Corpus Christi paper, Beth
Francesco, told E&P that Powell had built up a strong source
relationship with the prominent ranch owner, Katharine Armstrong,
which led to the tip. Powell is chief political reporter for the
paper and also covers the area where the ranch is located south of
Sarita, about 60 miles from Corpus Christi. Armstrong did not notify
reporters at larger papers in Dallas, Houston, Austin, or other
cities.

Armstrong called the paper Sunday morning looking for Powell, who was
not at work. When they did talk, Armstrong revealed the shooting of
prominent Austin attorney Harry Whittington, who is now in stable
condition in a hospital. Powell then called Cheney's office for the
confirmation around midday. The newspaper broke the story at mid-
afternoon -- not a word about it had appeared before then.

The Cheney spokesman with whom Powell spoke, Lea Anne McBride, would
not comment on whether the Cheney office or the White House would
have ever released the information had the Caller-Times not contacted
them.

"I'm not going to speculate," McBride said, according to
Powell. "When you put the call into me, I was able to confirm that
account."

White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, peppered with questions
about the incident at his Monday morning press "gaggle," explained
that the White House had deferred to the Vice President's office in
the matter, and the latter deferred to the ranch owner.

McClellan said that the first reports that came to the White House
only said that a member of Cheney's party had been shot but did not
indicate that Cheney was the shooter. Top Bush aide Karl Rove later
informed the president of Cheney's involvement but McClellan refused
to say precisely when, beyond saying it was "in a relatively
reasonable" amount of time.

The New York Times observed Monday that reporters "seemed frustrated
that Mr. McClellan could not tell them exactly when Mr. Bush learned
that the vice president himself had shot Mr. Whittington." As for
McClellan's knowledge--he said that he did not know about Cheney as
triggerman until Sunday morning.

Francesco, at the Corpus Christi paper, said she felt it was a bit
odd that her newsroom had not received any information about the
shooting since "we often call law enforcement in the area, even on
weekends. We checked in and didn't hear anything about it." In some
states, all serious shooting incidents must be immediately reported
to police.

Hospital officials on Monday continued to offer few details on the
victim's condition, but said he was "very stable" and that pellets
were possibly still being removed. Sally Whittington told The Dallas
Morning News her father was being observed because of swelling from
some of the welts on his neck. His face "looks like chicken pox, kind
of," she said.

A hospital spokesman said Whittington was in the intensive care unit
because his condition warranted it, but he didn't elaborate.
Whittington sent word that he would have no comment on the incident
out of respect for Cheney.

While E&P was first to raise questions about the delay Sunday
afternoon, Frank James, reporter in the Chicago Tribune's Washington
bureau, put his own spin on it later in the day, asking, "How is it
that Vice President Cheney can shoot a man, albeit accidentally, on
Saturday during a hunting trip and the American public not be
informed of it until today?"

Indeed, others raised questions as well. "There was no immediate
reason given as to why the incident wasn't reported until Sunday,"
the Dallas Morning News observed. "The sheriff's office in Kenedy
County did not respond to phone calls Sunday."

The president, who was at the White House over the weekend, was
informed about the incident in Texas after it happened Saturday by
Chief of Staff Andrew Card and Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and
was updated on Sunday, press secretary Scott McClellan said.

But neither the White House nor the vice president's staff announced
the shooting. The Washington Post reported late Sunday that Cheney's
office did not make a public announcement.

Asked by The New York Times why it did not make the news known,
Cheney spokeswoman McBride said, "We deferred to the Armstrongs
regarding what had taken place at their ranch."

Armstrong said later, according to The Associated Press, that
everyone at the ranch was so "focused" on Whittington's health
Saturday that it wasn't until Sunday she called the Caller-Times to
report the accident.

"It was accidental, a hunting accident," Sheriff Ramon Salinas III of
Kenedy County told The New York Times, adding that the Secret Service
notified him Saturday of the episode. "They did what they had to
according to law."

In an odd disparity, Armstrong told the Houston Chronicle that
Whittington, 78, was "bruised more than bloodied" in the incident
and "his pride was hurt more than anything else." Yet he was
airlifted to a hospital and has spent more than a day in an intensive
care unit.

The Chronicle also reports Monday that hunting accidents are very
rare in Texas. In 2004, it said, the state's one million-plus hunters
were involved in only 29 hunting-related accidents (19 involving
firearms), four of which were fatal.

Time magazine on its Web site observed that Cheney is scheduled to
join President Bush on Monday afternoon when he takes questions from
reporters in the Oval Office, following a meeting with United Nations
Secretary General Kofi Annan. "White House aides can be expected to
say that the Vice President did not shoot Whittington, which suggests
a bullet, but rather sprayed him with birdshot, a type of ammunition
made up of tiny pieces of lead or steel," Time predicted.

On Sunday, the Chicago Tribune's James wrote on the Washington
bureau's blog at the newspaper's site, "When a vice president of the
U.S. shoots a man under any circumstance, that is extremely relevant
information. What might be the excuse to justify not immediately
making the incident public?

"The vice president is well known for preferring to operate in
secret. ... Some secrecy, especially when it comes to the executing
the duties of president or vice president, is understandable and
expected by Americans.

"But when the vice president's office, or the White House, delays in
reporting a shooting like Saturday's to the public via the media, it
needlessly raises suspicions and questions of trust. And it may just
further the impression held by many, rightly or wrongly, that the
White House doesn't place the highest premium on keeping the public
fully and immediately informed."

The New York Times reported late Sunday that Whittington was
commissioner of the state's Funeral Service Commission. In 1999,
George W. Bush, then governor of Texas, named Whittington to head the
Commission, which licenses and regulates funeral directors and
embalmers in the state. "When he was named," the Times revealed, "a
former executive director of the commission, Eliza May, was suing the
state, saying that she had been fired because she investigated a
funeral home chain that was owned by a friend of Mr. Bush.

"The suit was settled in 2001, but the details were not disclosed."
___

Latest update, Monday p.m.

White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan explained Monday that the
White House knew about the accidental shooting of a fellow hunter on
Saturday night, but deferred to the vice president's office, which
did not announce it. The vice president's office in turn deferred to
Katharine Armstrong, the ranch owner in Texas where the shooting took
place. She called a Corpus Christi reporter at midday Sunday and only
then did the news come out.

McClellan also said Monday, according to The Associated Press,
that "Bush and senior aides were told Saturday night by the staff of
the White House Situation Room that somebody in the Cheney's hunting
party was shot, but he said he was not told until Sunday morning that
Cheney was the shooter. He said he contacted the vice president's
office and everyone agreed they needed to get the information to the
public quickly."

Reviewing the late-morning press briefing today, the National
Journal's Hotline site said that reporters reacted
with "astonishment" to McClellan's admission about not knowing about
Cheney's role in the shooting until Sunday. It noted that McClellan
did everything possible to imply that the responsibility for any
bungling resides in the vice president's office.

McClellan also said he did not know about a report that the Secret
Service prevented a deputy sheriff from interviewing Cheney.

Courtesy of USAtoday.com, here is a sampling of the briefing,
featuring NBC's David Gregory.

GREGORY: "The vice president of the United States shoots a man, and
he feels that it's appropriate for a ranch owner who witnessed this
to tell a local Corpus Christi newspaper, not the White House press
corps at large or notify the public in a national way."

MCCLELLAN: "Well, I think we all know that once it is made public,
then it's going to be news, and all of you are going to be seeking
that information. The vice president's office was ready to provide
additional information to reporters. There was no traveling White
House press corps with the vice president, as there is with the
president in a situation like this, so there are some different
circumstances. And the other circumstance was here that someone was
injured and needed medical care. And the vice president's team was
making sure he was getting taken care of, and that he got to the
hospital and received additional treatment."

Armstrong told the AP today that her family realized Sunday morning
that it would be a story and decided to call the local newspaper, the
Corpus Christi Caller-Times. She said she then discussed the news
coverage with Cheney for the first time.

"I said, Mr. Vice President, this is going to be public, and I'm
comfortable going to the hometown newspaper," she told the AP. "And
he said you go ahead and do whatever you are comfortable doing."

Earlier Monday morning, McClellan had said, "The first priority… was
making sure that Mr. Whittington was getting the medical care that he
needed. The first priority Saturday night was making sure he
receiving medical care and getting to the hospital and being taken
care of, and that's what happened. The vice president's office was
taking the lead on making sure the information got out, and it did.
The vice president's office worked with Mrs. Armstrong to get that
information out.''

Matt Cooper, the Time magazine reporter, said on CBS's "The Early
Show" today, "It's clearly an accident, but the fact that the White
House didn't release this information, that it sat around for almost
a day is in itself, bizarre."

In an online chat at the Washington Post site, the paper's White
House reporter Peter Baker said reporters in D.C. are "flabbergasted"
by the shooting. He indicated that the Post was looking deeply into
how it was reported to the local sheriff and the exact condition of
the victim.

"It sure woke up a lot of folks here in Washington on a quiet, snowy
Sunday," Baker said. "Whether the story has legs I suppose remains to
be seen." He said the delay question is "being asked a lot in
Washington today...

"I'm not sure there is a standard protocol when the vice president
shoots someone, but it's fair to say reporters prefer that news be
disclosed in a timely fashion."

In response to another query he revealed, "we are looking today into
the issue of the local sheriff's office and what involvement they had
in this. Stay tuned, more to come."

Asked if knew of any other vice president shooting a man, Baker
replied: "Obviously there was Aaron Burr shooting Alexander Hamilton
in a duel in 1804, but that was actually intentional and in that case
the victim died."

Cheney steps up war on lawyers

U.S. Vice-President accidentally shoots hunting buddy

Mary Vallis, National Post, with files from news services
Monday, February 13, 2006

Dick Cheney, the Vice-President of the United States, accidentally
shot and wounded a 78-year-old hunting buddy while hunting at a Texas
ranch this weekend.

Mr. Cheney, 65, was out with friends at a private ranch in Kenedy
County late on Saturday afternoon when he accidentally sprayed an
elderly companion with shotgun pellets at about 5:30 p.m.

"It appears he was peppered with a shotgun while hunting for quail,"
Peter Banko, an administrator at Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial,
said in an interview.

Mr. Banko said the victim, lawyer Harry Whittington of Austin, Tex.,
suffered wounds to his face, neck and chest. He was in stable
condition in the trauma intensive care unit late yesterday.

Katharine Armstrong, whose family owns the ranch, was a member of the
hunting party and witnessed the accident.

She said Mr. Cheney, an experienced hunter, did not realize Mr.
Whittington had rejoined the group without announcing himself, which
is proper protocol among hunters.

"They had no idea he was there," Ms. Armstrong said.

"A bird flew up, the Vice-President followed it through around to his
right and shot, and unfortunately, unbeknownst to anybody, Harry was
there and he got peppered pretty good with a spray of 28-gauge
pellets," Ms. Armstrong said.

"He was turning, facing the Vice-President, but turning to the right,
and it sprayed him across the right side of his face, his shoulder,
his chest and along the rib cage area," she said.

Ms. Armstrong said Mr. Cheney's medical team attended to Mr.
Whittington before he was taken to the hospital.

She described Mr. Cheney as "an excellent, conscientious shot."

"The person who is not doing the shooting at the point is just as
responsible, and should be, as the person actually shooting," Ms.
Armstrong said.

Mr. Whittington, a wealthy Republican and donor to the presidential
campaigns of George W. Bush, was taken to hospital at 8:15 p.m. on
Saturday.

Local media reported that officials with the Kenedy County Sheriff's
Office were investigating the incident.

Mr. Cheney visited Mr. Whittington at the hospital for about 20
minutes yesterday afternoon, Mr. Banko said. The victim's wife and
family members spent the day at the hospital.

"Nobody wants this to happen, but it does," Lea Anne McBride, the
Vice-President's spokeswoman, told the local newspaper.

Mr. Cheney is an avid hunter and frequent visitor to the Armstrong
Ranch, a sprawling, 20,000-hectare spread in south Texas. In October,
he spoke at the funeral of Tobin Armstrong, the family's patriarch.

Mr. Cheney's past escapades have raised the ire of both animal
activists and political watchdog groups. In December, 2003, he
visited a game farm in Pennsylvania. When gamekeepers released 500
pen-reared pheasants, he shot 70 and ordered them plucked and vacuum-
packed. The Humane Society of the United States exposed Mr.
Cheney's "canned hunt."

Another trip a few week later raised allegations of conflict of
interest. In early 2004, it was revealed Mr. Cheney had gone on a
duck hunt in southern Louisiana with Supreme Court Justice Antonin
Scalia, an old friend. The trip took place in January, 2004, three
weeks after the high court agreed to hear a controversial case
involving the Vice-President.

"Vice-President Cheney continues to demonstrate terrible misjudgment
with his hunting behaviour," Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane
Society of the United States, said in an interview last night.

Mr. Pacelle said Mr. Cheney's hunts represent the worst aspects of
the sport -- the "good-ol'-boy network," the use of an "unethical"
hunting facility, as well as harming a companion.

"Now he's shot a hunting partner. We really don't understand what his
obsession with shooting animals is. Certainly he has plenty of other
things to keep him busy."

Cheney Accidentally Shoots Fellow Hunter

By Nedra Pickler
Associated Press
Feb 12, 2006

WASHINGTON - Vice President "Dick" Cheney accidentally shot and
wounded a companion during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas,
spraying the fellow hunter in the face and chest with shotgun
pellets.

Harry Whittington, a millionaire attorney from Austin, was "alert and
doing fine" in a Corpus Christi hospital Sunday after he was shot by
Cheney on a ranch in south Texas, said Katharine Armstrong, the
property's owner.

He was in stable condition Sunday, said Yvonne Wheeler, spokeswoman
for the Christus Spohn Health System in Corpus Christi.

Armstrong in an interview with The Associated Press said Whittington,
78, was mostly injured on his right side, with the pellets hitting
his cheek, neck and chest during the incident which occurred late
afternoon on Saturday.

She said emergency personnel traveling with Cheney tended to
Whittington until the ambulance arrived.

Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president met
with Whittington and his wife at the hospital on Sunday. Cheney "was
pleased to see that he's doing fine and in good spirits," she said.

The shooting was first reported by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times.
The vice president's office did not disclose the accident until the
day after it happened.

Armstrong said she was watching from a car while Cheney, Whittington
and another hunter got out of the vehicle to shoot at a covey of
quail.

Whittington shot a bird and went to look for it in the tall grass,
while Cheney and the third hunter walked to another spot and
discovered a second covey.

Whittington "came up from behind the vice president and the other
hunter and didn't signal them or indicate to them or announce
himself," Armstrong said.

"The vice president didn't see him," she continued. "The covey
flushed and the vice president picked out a bird and was following it
and shot. And by god, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered
pretty good."

Whittington has been a private practice attorney in Austin since 1950
and has long been active in Texas Republican politics. He's been
appointed to several state boards, including when then-Gov. George W.
Bush named him to the Texas Funeral Service Commission.

McBride did not comment about why the vice president's office did not
tell reporters about the accident until the next day. She referred
the question to Armstrong, who could not be reached again Sunday
evening.

Armstrong, owner of the Armstrong Ranch where the accident occurred,
said Whittington was bleeding and Cheney was very apologetic.

"It broke the skin," she said of the shotgun pellets. "It knocked him
silly. But he was fine. He was talking. His eyes were open. It didn't
get in his eyes or anything like that."

"Fortunately, the vice president has got a lot of medical people
around him and so they were right there and probably more cautious
than we would have been," she said. "The vice president has got an
ambulance on call, so the ambulance came."

Cheney is an avid hunter who makes annual hunting trips to South
Dakota to hunt pheasants. He also travels frequently to Arkansas to
hunt ducks.

Armstrong said Cheney is a longtime friend who comes to the ranch to
hunt about once a year and is "a very safe sportsman." She said
Whittington is a regular, too, but she thought it was the first time
the two men hunted together.

"This is something that happens from time to time. You now, I've been
peppered pretty well myself," said Armstrong.

The 50,000-acre Armstrong ranch has been in the influential south
Texas family since the turn of the last century. Katharine is the
daughter of Tobin Armstrong, a politically connected rancher who has
been a guest at the White House and spent 48 years as director of the
Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. He died in
October. Cheney was among the dignitaries who attended his funeral.

Hunter shot by Cheney has 'minor heart attack'

Doctors: Birdshot moved to Harry Whittington's heart

Tuesday, February 14, 2006

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (CNN) -- The fellow hunter who was shot and
wounded by Vice President Dick Cheney has suffered a "minor heart
attack" after a piece of birdshot migrated to his heart, a hospital
spokesman said Tuesday.

Harry Whittington, 78, is in stable condition in intensive care and
will remain hospitalized for up to seven days, hospital officials
said.

"Some of the bird shot appears to have moved and lodged into part of
his heart ... in what we would say is a minor heart attack," said
Peter Banko, administrator at Christus Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi-
Memorial.

Cheney and Whittington were hunting quail on a friend's south Texas
ranch Saturday when the vice president shot and wounded him.

Doctors were deciding how to treat Whittington's condition, which was
discovered after doctors noticed an irregularity in his heartbeat,
Banko said.

Dr. David Blanchard, the hospital's emergency room chief, said
Whittington suffered an "asymptomatic heart attack," without
displaying symptoms such as chest pains or breathing difficulty. He
said a roughly 5 mm piece of shot became lodged in or alongside
Whittington's heart muscle, causing the organ's upper two chambers to
beat irregularly.

Physicians from the White House staff, who helped treat Whittington
after Cheney shot him in a Saturday hunting accident, have been
consulted on the situation, Banko said.

Authorities have cleared Cheney of wrongdoing in the accidental
shooting of Whittington, but questions about Saturday's incident
remain.

During Tuesday's White House news conference, spokesman Scott
McClellan was asked if waiting 14 hours after the shooting before
Cheney spoke with police was appropriate, and whether an average
citizen would have been afforded the same amount of time.

"That was what was arranged with the local law enforcement
authorities," McClellan said. "You ought to ask them that question."

McClellan referred other questions about Cheney's shooting of
Whittington, a Bush-Cheney campaign contributor, to the vice
president's office and local police.

Cheney arrived for work at the White House on Tuesday without comment
and a spokeswoman said the vice president had no plans for any public
statement about the matter.

"This department is fully satisfied that this was no more than a
hunting accident," the Kenedy County Sheriff's Department announced
in a statement issued Monday evening. (Watch reporters pepper White
House spokesman with questions about the shooting -- 2:03)

Sheriff's deputies in Kenedy County, near Corpus Christi, questioned
Cheney on Sunday and Whittington on Monday.

A prominent Texas lawyer and a campaign donor to the Bush-Cheney
campaigns in 2000 and 2004, Whittington was hit on the right side of
his face, neck and chest when Cheney turned to fire on a covey of
quail at a ranch near Kingsville, Texas, on Saturday. But Cheney's
office did not disclose the shooting until Sunday afternoon, after
the family that owns the ranch told a Corpus Christi newspaper about
it. (Time.com: How Cheney stalled news reports)

McClellan told reporters on Monday that the focus in the immediate
aftermath of the shooting was to make sure the man Cheney wounded got
medical attention.

"It's important, always, to work to make sure you get information out
like this as quickly as possible," McClellan said. "But it's also
important to make sure that the first priority is focused where it
should be, and that is making sure that Mr. Whittington has the care
that he needs."

McClellan said Cheney agreed that his friend Katharine Armstrong, who
accompanied the shooting party, should tell the Corpus Christi Caller-
Times about the incident, a move that provoked sharp questions from
reporters.

Asked whether it was appropriate "for a private citizen to be the
person to disseminate the information that the vice president of the
United States has shot someone," McClellan said, "That's one way to
provide information to the public."

"The vice president spoke with her directly and agreed that she
should make it public and that they would provide additional
information," he said.

Cheney, an avid hunter, was shooting at a covey of quail at the
Armstrong Ranch near Kingsville, southwest of Corpus Christi, when
the accident occurred. According to Armstrong, a daughter of Anne
Armstrong, Whittington shot a quail, dropped back from the rest of
the hunting party to retrieve it and was rejoining the group when
Cheney fired.

Katharine Armstrong said no one discussed informing the public about
the incident until Sunday morning, when she and her mother raised the
matter with Cheney. Saturday night, she said, "The only concern we
all had was about Harry."

But she said Cheney made it clear he knew it had to be made public.

A medical team accompanying the vice president administered first aid
to Whittington when the accident occurred at 5:50 p.m., Secret
Service spokesman Tom Mazur said. The Secret Service told sheriff's
deputies about the accident an hour later, after Whittington was
headed for a hospital in Kingsville and the hunting party had
returned to the ranch house, he said.

A Kenedy County sheriff's deputy questioned Cheney about the shooting
on Sunday, Mazur said.

White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card told President Bush about 7:30
p.m. Saturday that there had been a hunting accident, but Card did
not know the vice president had been involved at the time, the White
House said. About 8 p.m., after talking with Armstrong, Deputy Chief
of Staff Karl Rove told Bush that Cheney had shot Whittington.

Whittington was hit upon rejoining the group and "apparently came up
unannounced" as Cheney prepared to fire, Armstrong said Sunday.

Whittington has been active in Texas GOP politics since the 1960s and
served as chairman of the state Board of Corrections from 1979 to
1985. In 1999, then-Gov. Bush named him to the state Funeral Services
Commission, which had been stung by allegations of widespread
corruption and mismanagement in the industry. (Whittington profile)

Anne Armstrong served on the board of directors of Halliburton, the
oil field service company Cheney ran before becoming vice president.
She also served as U.S. ambassador to Britain in the Ford
administration.

Slow Leak: How Cheney Stalled News Reports of Hunting Accident

Word of the mishap took 20 hours to get out as the Vice President
insisted on telling a local newspaper before everyone else, sources
say

By MIKE ALLEN/WASHINGTON
Monday, Feb. 13, 2006

The Vice President was the press strategist, and Karl Rove was the
investigative reporter. Vice President Cheney overruled the advice of
several members of the White House staff and insisted on sticking to
a plan for releasing information about his hunting accident that
resulted in a 20-hour, overnight delay in public confirmation of the
startling incident, according to several Republican sources.

"This is either a cover-up story or an incompetence story," said a
top Republican who is close to the White House and has rarely been
critical of the Administration in the past five years. "Karl was
constrained, as was the entire communications operation, because the
Vice President had arranged for how this was to come out."

As described by the White House spokesman at a pair of rowdy
briefings and in a follow-up e-mail to reporters, Cheney accidentally
shot a 78-year-old hunting companion on a ranch near Corpus Christi
on Saturday at about 5:30 p.m. local time, or 6:30 p.m. in
Washington. A traveling aide to the Vice President gave what one
official privately called a "heads up" to the staff at the White
House Situation Room, who notified White House Chief of Staff Andrew
H. Card Jr. He called President Bush around 7:30 p.m. "to inform him
that there was a hunting accident" in the Vice President's group, a
spokesman said, but Card "did not know the Vice President was
involved at that time," according to an e-mail to White House
reporters. Rove, a deputy chief of staff, later spoke to the ranch
owner, who is a longtime friend, and discovered that the Vice
President had acccidentally shot someone. Rove called Bush shortly
before 8 p.m. to tell him, according to the e-mail. Press Secretary
Scott McClellan was not told until 6 the next morning. At that time,
he began "pushing to get the information out," according to an
official who learned about the conversations from someone besides
McClellan.

But that did not happen right away. Cheney insisted on carrying out a
strategy he had worked out with the ranch owner, Katharine Armstrong,
in which she was to call a trusted reporter at the local paper, the
Corpus Christi Caller-Times, to disclose the news. Caller-Times
Managing Editor Shane Fitzgerald told TIME that the newspaper had
done its usual nightly checks with local law enforcement agents on
Saturday and had been told nothing was going on. Armstrong started
leaving messages at the newspaper at 8 a.m., reached a reporter by 11
a.m. and the newspaper posted its story on the Web at 1:48 p.m.
local time Sunday. At 3:34 p.m. eastern time, The Associated Press
finally flashed the news: "Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally
shot and injured a man during a hunting trip in Texas." Fitzgerald
said he is "mystified" about the chain of events and that the public
should have been notified much earlier, even if the shooter had been
some random guy. Even on Monday, the newspaper struggled to get a
copy of the accident report. "I think it has become a bigger deal
than Mr. Cheney and/or the White House anticipated," the editor said.

That is perhaps the understatement of the day. McClellan endured two
of his testiest briefings ever, with NBC's David Gregory saying at an
off-camera morning briefing that the Administration neglected its
duty to put out the information and that White House reporters "don't
care if some ranch owner calls a local paper." McClellan accused
Gregory of grandstanding: "Hold on. Cameras aren't on right now. You
can do this later." That infuriated Gregory. "You don't have to
yell," McClellan said. Gregory shot back: "I will yell. If you want
to use that podium and try to take shots at me personally, which I
don't appreciate, then I will raise my voice, because that's wrong."
McClellan said: "Calm down, David."

On Monday night, the Vice President's office said in its first
written statement about the incident that although Cheney was
carrying a $125 Texas non-resident season hunting license, he did not
have the required $7 stamp for for hunting upland game birds. The
statement said the Vice President had overpaid by buying a Federal
stamp he already possessed. "The staff asked for all permits needed,
but was not informed of the $7 upland game bird stamp requirement,"
the statement said. the check was sent Monday, the statement said.

McClellan said during his on-camera afternoon briefing: "You can
always look back at these issues and look at how to do a better job."
But he made it clear that the Vice President had been calling the
shots, and that McClellan's own approach had been different in the
past. "I think it's always important to get information out as
quickly as possible," he said. "I think of a similar incident when
the President was in Gleneagles, Scotland, and he had a biking
accident with a police officer there, and I quickly tried to give
that information to the press through the pool reporter and provide
that information to you all." Late-night comics had their predicted
field day. "We can't get Bin Laden," David Letterman said on
CBS, "but we nailed a 78-year-old attorney."

The Vice President was at the White House yesterday, but did not meet
reporters. He has no public events scheduled on Tuesday. So the staff
will continue to be peppered with questions that only the boss can
answer.

Libby: 'Superiors' Approved Leak

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9, 2006

VIDEO DOWNLOAD: Cheney Connection To Spygate?
According to federal court papers, Vice President Cheney's former
aide Scooter Libby suggested that he got clearance from above to
illegally disclose a covert CIA agent. Gloria Borger has more.

"It's still an open question about whether it hurts Dick Cheney
legally. Only the special prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, knows the
answer to that question."
-CBS News legal analyst Andrew Cohen

(CBS/AP) Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I.
Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who's been indicted in the CIA leak
investigation, testified that his "superiors" authorized him to leak
classified information to reporters.

It's a clear arrow pointing to the vice president, CBS News political
analyst Gloria Borger reports Thursday.

According to recently filed court documents, special prosecutor
Patrick Fitzgerald wrote Libby's attorneys a letter in which he noted
that, at the grand jury, "Mr. Libby testified he was authorized to
disclose information about the National Intelligence Estimate to the
press by his superiors" and he did that, in June and July 2003.

Parts of that document, which detailed Iraq's nuclear weapons
capabilities, were later declassified.

"Whatever else this means, it means an even more complicated
prosecution of Lewis Libby because it either requires the government
to disclose sensitive information to the defense team," CBS News
legal analyst Andrew Cohen says.

Thursday's National Journal reports that Libby will point out that
the vice president and other top administration officials encouraged
him to share classified information as part of a strategy to build a
defense for the war.

Libby, Cheney's former chief of staff, was indicted last year on
charges that he lied to FBI agents and a federal grand jury about how
he learned CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity and when he
subsequently told reporters.

Plame's identity was revealed in July 2003 by columnist Robert Novak
after her husband, former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson, accused the
Bush administration of twisting intelligence about Iraq's efforts to
buy uranium "yellowcake" in Niger. The year before, the CIA had sent
Wilson to Africa to determine the accuracy of the uranium reports.

Fitzgerald, when he first announced the charges last year, portrayed
Libby as the first high-level government official to reveal Plame's
identity to reporters.

While the vice president has been interviewed by the special
prosecutor, no one knows his testimony. The vice president's office
declined any comment Thursday.

"If these allegations by his former assistant are true, it certainly
won't help the vice president politically, Cohen adds. "And it
clearly will make it harder for the White House to separate itself
now from Libby. But it's still an open question about whether it
hurts Dick Cheney legally. Only the special prosecutor, Patrick
Fitzgerald, knows the answer to that question."

Libby's lawyers say they will not raise the defense based on any of
the Libby's superiors, Borger adds. But even so, the news Thursday
that Libby was given permission from his bosses to leak classified
information is an embarrassment, particularly for an administration
that prides itself on keeping secrets.
