Even though this may get some people put on watch lists, Doug Thompson over at Capitol Hill Blue claims that there is a Secret Service Report in which agents claim that they saw several of the hunters consume alcohol before and during the hunting trip where Cheney shot his friend, lawyer Harry Whittington.
According to those who have read the report and talked with others present at the outing, Cheney was drunk when he gunned down his friend and the day-and-a-half delay in allowing Texas law enforcement officials on the ranch where the shooting occurred gave all members of the hunting party time to sober up.Now, a day and a half is well enough time to get any alcohol out of one's system, although according to this article, doctors that treated Whittington have been ordered by the Secret Service to "never discuss the case with the press."
I think I smell a cover-up.
