Lessons from the Cheney hunting mishap.
(Page 9 of 9)
/p>
I liked Mr. Henry’s column on hunting quail. Everyone should read it who’s not familiar with the activity. It’s the last few sentences I have a problem with.
He wrote: “That means that, when hunting birds, you should always carry your gun with the muzzle pointed downrange … and up. That Vice President Cheney did not observe this elementary precaution, that he apparently turned and fired a shot level with the ground, I find appalling.
“It is not my job to call for his resignation. But I can certainly call his behavior and judgment into question.”
p>The descriptions of the accident by others indicate VP Cheney was acting properly and Mr. Whittington was not. I think Mr. Henry should wait to hear from the two men before he “apparently” reaches a conclusion not supported by the facts. br> — Tim Tilden /p> p> A big ho-hum. br> — Dondra Murphy br> Atlanta, Georgia /p>
