Cheney takes blame for shooting

Wed Feb 15, 2006 3:02 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney took the blame on Wednesday for accidentally shooting a friend while hunting quail, saying, "I'm the guy who pulled the trigger."

Cheney, under pressure by Republicans to break his silence about the Saturday shooting, told Fox News he still thought he was correct to delay for about 18 hours reporting the wounding of Texas lawyer Harry Whittington to the public because he wanted to ensure the accuracy of what had happened.

"You can talk about all of the other conditions that existed at the time, but that's the bottom line. And it's not Harry's fault. You can't blame anybody else," Cheney said. "Ultimately, I'm the guy who pulled the trigger (and) shot my friend."
