"At about 1pm, they broke for a picnic lunch of antelope, salad and camp bread. Ms Armstrong initially said the meal was washed down only with soft drinks, but Mr Cheney acknowledged drinking a beer in his television interview. It is an old Texan tradition for hunters - be they rednecks or the great and good - to load up theirs truck with an ice cooler packed with beers. But all the witnesses, including the irrepressible Mr Whittington from his hospital bed, told police that nobody was hunting under the influence of alcohol."..... Lets see,cheney had abeer and is he not also on medication for a heart alement?.....a hunting no no. Incorrect. I am on several heart medications. Beer is not forbidden, especially one and one would not have any significant effect on Mr. Cheney medication or no medication. Meanwhile, a local police captain who had heard a report of the shooting was turned away from the ranch gate by secret service agents. Sheriff Salinas has declined to go into why the officer was refused entry, but said he called the ranch himself and spoke to a former colleague who now works there and was assured that the shooting was an accident. He arranged for his deputy to interview Mr Cheney the next morning."....does not any incident ivolving a fire arm have to be reported immediately to the police?.... a leagle no no Incorrect. The shotting was reported to the local authorities within 10 minutes. The SS, also law enforcement was already on site.

<< "And you can still call this fellow a competent hunter?" >> Based on objectively, reasonably & logically considering all known facts & credible evidence, yes. I see you needed to use a left wing rag (telegraph.co.uk) from the UK to find a tin foil hat conspiracy theory to darkly imply a massive cover up involving Cheney, his secret service entourage, the entire hunting party including the victim, the Armstrong family & local authorities. How unimpressive! Apparently you think I'm as stupid as the left wing rag assumes I am. I'm sorry to disappoint you by sticking to reality. No matter how you spin & distort it, one beer 4+ hours prior to the afternoon hunt began does not an impaired hunter make, with or without heart medication. No local authorities were turned away from the Armstrong residence the evening of the accident. The Sheriff & others are all on record as to the actual events. None of them corroborate the "refused access" &/or delayed investigation spin by the left wing press. And nothing here has anything to do with Cheney's hunting competence. The official ruling by local authorities after interviewing all witnesses, the victim & Cheney, was that it was an unfortunate accident PERIOD. Fox News is a conservative outlet? Is that a fact? Fox News supports the Bush Admin? Is that a fact? Hmmm.... by applying that logic, almost every MSM outlet in the USA is left wing & does not support the Bush Admin. Now that is far closer to the truth than the claptrap from the Telegraph about Fox News. Conflating & distorting the stories about the mitigating factors contributing to the accident proves nothing other than to add to the clear evidence that misinformation & misdirection, rather than objective fact was applied liberally to spin the tin foil hat conspiracy that was presented as hard news by a left wing foreign rag. news.telegraph.co.uk
