When I heard about a week and a half ago about US vice-president Dick Cheney accidentaly shooting a guy, I didn’t think that much of it. I mean: accidents happen. But then some details started to leak out to the press. The fact that Cheney tried to keep the press out of the whole story, the fact that Cheney did not have the right permit, the fact the local sherif didn’t interview anyone until the day after etc. etc. And who can blame the guy for it: the more facts leak out the more stupid it all looks. And now we have at least one really conclusive fact Cheney lied about in the official reports filed. How far he was standing from Whittington. To sum things up in four words: it is a cover-up.
Cheney claims that he shot Whittington at 90 feet, ballistic tests from the spread of the shotgun pellets to their penetration depth is 100% conclusive. Harry Whittington was shot at close range, between 15 and 18 feet, not the 90 claimed by Dick Cheney and the Secret Service. It is now clear why they refused to let Sherriff’s Deputies interview Cheney for over 13 hours and why they claimed that Whittington’s injuries were superficial when in truth they were grevious. Also the fact that they immediately started to state that ‘no alchohol’ was involved raises the question why they denied such a thing even before anyone asked any question about?
Anyway: here is a cool ten minute “see-for-yourself” report that conclusively shows that Vice President Dick Cheney’s claims to Kennedy County Sherriff’s Deputies in south Texas is a total fabrication.
