I still don't know why the feds aren't investigating those leaks more strongly - here's the NYT article on the local DA:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/15/politics/15cheney.html?hp&ex=1140066000&en=4115ca90864b33ca&ei=5094&partner=homepage

Local officials have not considered any charges in the shooting because no one in the hunting party, including the victim, has accused Mr. Cheney of wrongdoing.

"Everybody that I've heard so far has said it was an accident," said Mr. Valdez, who holds an elected position and is a Democrat. "The victim probably told the sheriff's department it was an accident."

Mr. Valdez added, "Now, if the worst happens and the man happens to die, we would take an additional step."

Under the law, even an accidental hunting fatality can result in criminal charges. Mr. Cheney could be charged with negligence, defined as failing to understand the dangers involved and disregarding them, or recklessness, defined as understanding the dangers and disregarding them.

Sounds like the NYT is hoping to entice somebody to come forward, doesn't it?

What's to investigate? It was an ACCIDENT!! The man was a long time friend of Mr. Cheney.

These nuts act like Mr. Cheney had some secret agenda going on........

Yeah.....it was all planned......

And I'm sure it's still Bush's fault.
