4. Thank you for pointing out this little fact
If the worst thing we can pin on Cheney is a hunting accident, we would really have little about which to complain and websites like this one would probably dry up for lack of interest.

Cheney is a war criminal and a war profiteer. He twisted the arms of CIA analysts to get them to tell him and other policy makers what would justify the decision to invade Iraq, which had already been made, regardless of the real facts. Behind the scenes, he led the charge against Ambassador Wilson in retribution for Wilson's setting the record straight. The pipeline construction corporation of which Cheney was once CEO has made a handsome profit as a result of this unnecessary war and it would be interesting to know how much of it is ending up in his retirement fund.

The hunting accident is good for a few cheap shots against Mr. Cheney, but let us not forget that this man had a record of far bloodier crimes which were not accidents and is nothing at which to snicker.
