It's the coverup, stupid

This administration is so obsessed with the coverup, that even when Cheney shoots a 78 year old friend in the face, they still can't come clean. Watch as Scott McClellan blames the victim for neglecting the hunting rules:

The protocol was not followed by Mr. Whittington

even though the official accident report clearly faults Cheney as the error was caused by the hunter's judgement, not the victim's. Could it be that they don't want the #2 in charge to appear as incompetent as his boss?
