if he was shot at those distances, i tend to theink he may not have been alive... was the ammo the 'correct' amo

We know that most of the facts that have been told to the public are manufactured frauds.
ok... opening statement.... ???

even if it turns out to have been close range; its not like this guy isn't cheney's friend... its an accident :roll:

Nope, wasnt even the same gauge of gun. They used a 12 gauge with 8 shot.
Cheney was using a 28 gauge with 7 1/2 shot (significantly smaller and less power).

Also given the lack of pictures and concrete information on the mans wounds(as RC45 stated the pellet at his heart most likely migrated through his vein since we are talking something the size of a grain of sand) his analysis is useless.

Whether we were told the truth is certainly debateable, but that analysis amounts to a bunch of useless hand waving. He doesnt have specs on the wounds or info on them. He isnt using the same sort of gun, the same type of ammo, the same angles. In effect I could fire a bb gun at a soda can and make the same claims.

Based on the shotgun spray patterns we observed and the various ballistics penetration tests we performed, we think that it is plausible that Whittington was shot at a distance of 30 yards and possibly as close as 20 yards. It seems unlikely that he was hit at close range.

Yeh, what's the fuss about? He's out of hospital and back doing what he does best - making money.
