Questions On Cheney Shooting

Since I am Canadian and not informed regarding the repurcusions of an accidental shooting of an individual be it a friend/hunting buddy or not, don't you thinkg the press should be asking: (1) How long did it take to transfer Mr. Whittington to the hospital where he was apparently injured enough to be placed in an Intensive Care Unit? (2) When was the shooting reported to the local police department? (3) Why the 18 hour delay before notifying or even confirming the shooting to the press and then only after an inquisitive reporter from the local paper in Corpus Christi, Texas, received a tip from the owner of the property where the shooting occured and called Vice President Cheney's office for confirmation? (4) If there was a investigation by law inforcement when will the resulting report be released? And last but not least: (5)Was an investigation even done? Knowing this administration's paranoid attachment to secrecy I wonder if the shooting would have been released at all. Add to that the ego driven attitude that George and Darth Vader Dick are above the law I suppose they will refuse comment because "there's an ongoing investigation". Surely they can't use the "national security" argument.
