This is not about medical confidentiality, and the condition of the victim is really not relevant to the story. The Vice President of the United States shoots someone (an elected Public Official is definitely an appropriate story which should be disclosed / clarified. I found this story on another thread...pretty suggestive as to why the police investigators were held off for the additional time: thoughtcrimes.org Alert reader StickDog at DU caught this tidbit. When first posted, NBC news quoted Katharine Armstrong as saying: "There may be a beer or two in there," she said, "but remember not everyone in the party was shooting.". About an hour later, the quote was deleted from the story. The original text was captured by Google and you can see it here. thoughtcrimes.org BushCo still has major clout as they managed to remove even this small mention of alcohol. It begins to make sense that Cheney refused to speak with a deputy until later Sunday morning, if there was a danger of the deputy would smell beer or notice Cheney was obviously drunk. Update: DU's detectives come through again with a screen shot of the actual story before it was scrubbed. democraticunderground.com;
