Scooters defense is that Shooter told him to leak and veep has the right to declassify on the fly. When this trial starts republicans will see that this line is another screw up on their part. Hell i'm syspathetic and i dont buy that for a moment. Cheney/Rummy have failed and rummy should have resigned or been asked to years ago for mucking up Vietnam er er iraq & if shooter uses that line when scooter implicates him, he should go also. If Bush wants a veep with gravitas let him choose mccain and make hagel or lugar or lieberman s of d at the same time.

Knight Ridder Washington Bureau WASHINGTON - The White House blamed the 78-year-old man whom Vice President Dick Cheney shot during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas for the incident, as officials struggled Monday to explain why they waited nearly 24 hours before making the news public. White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan tried to absolve Cheney of blame for shooting wealthy Austin lawyer Harry Whittington, saying that hunting "protocol was not followed by Mr. Whittington when it came to notifying others that he was there. And so, you know, unfortunately, these types of hunting accidents happen from time to time." Several hunting experts were skeptical of McClellan's explanation. They said Cheney might have violated a cardinal rule of hunting: Know your surroundings before you pull the trigger.
