don't miss Froomkin's post on Cheney

here. And why the hell has he still not made a personal public statement? There really isn't a rational explanation for the way Cheney has handled this. On second thought, actually this is a completely appropriate and familar Dick Cheney response. He handled shooting Whittington just fine... that part was easy. Mission accomplished. It's everything that's happened since the shooting ended that seems to mystify Dick.
