An interesting queston - what were the SEcret Service guys doing..where were they. Shouldn't they have known at all times were someone with a loaded gun in Cheney's vicinity was at ALL times? Then again, this from Time Mag:

Cheney makes his own rules; he decides what intelligence matters, what secrets are worth keeping and what force is worth using, and he defends his positions with a breathtaking indifference to consequences and to complaint from those who disagree. He went off to spend a relaxing -- and unannounced -- weekend hunting with friends who also happened to be donors and lobbyists at a time when both species find themselves under fire. And it turned into a nightmare for everyone involved.

As for critics on the Hill, a House Republican leadership aide said Cheney will remain the lawmakers' top back channel to Bush. "A hunting accident, even with their bungling, isn't going to change that. It's been helpful that the press has been so obnoxious and such prima donnas. It made people here feel sorry for the White House."
