Utter an absolute drek...
If you shot someone, accidentally or otherwise, the FIRST thing that your lawyer will tell you is:
SHUT THE HELL UP AND SPEAK TO NO ONE!
the next thing he will tell you is:
Do not admit having done anything wrong.
These are your rights... one according to Miranda and according to the Constitution.
You have the right to remain silent.
You have the right against self incrimination.
Also, drawing a parallel between a hunting trip and Iraq is digusting.
This is a rather foolish and irresponsible article about a very sad hunting accident, in which the worst thing that even might be true is that Cheney was careless.
Ms. Dowd and the entire NY TImes staff want this man to DIE so they can continue their Bushwacking, anti america agenda.
Look, Cheney made a terrible mistake. The one with the gun is always wrong in a situation like this. This man was Cheney's friend and I suspect Mr. Cheney felt horrible for his friend and his family.
The media feels they should be told about this as it happened. Well, the media is wrong again.
I am sure, the group attended to Mr. Wittington's needs FIRST and made sure his family was notified FIRST, not the media.
the worst thing is that Cheney didn't come clean with the public or the whitehouse immediately casting more shadows of doubt on the "transparency" of the Bush Admin.

So VP Cheney automatically looses his rights to remain silent and speak to his attorney before he makes a statement (Which according to his 'Right against self incrimination', he isn't even required to do.)
Being elected to public office does NOT strip you of these Rights.
Is this even an issue?. If youre worried about Miranda rights in a hunting accident you are stretching credulity here. In a car accident, or hunting accident, the main concern is to help the victim, not worry about issues of self incrimination.Youve been watching too much Law and Order.
According to the news, at least they got that"aid the victim" part right.
