Man Cheney Shot in Face Is Still Waiting For An Apology & P*ssed Off About It.

Nearly five years on, he's still waiting for Dick Cheney to say he's sorry.

Meet Harry Whittington. He's the man former Vice President Dick Cheney shot in the face four years ago on a hunting trip. Now 82, Whittington discussed the incident for the first time in today's Washington Post. It seems getting blasted at close range with 200 pieces of birdshot was not the highlight of this elderly Texan's golden years. The incident did not bring him any closer to Cheney. In fact, he's kind of mad at the guy. Not because he shot him (in the face), but because he was rude about it after.

His injuries were more dire than originally reported. Whittington suffered a collapsed lung and underwent invasive exploratory surgery, as doctors probed his vital organs for signs of damage.

Two hundred bits of shrapnel pierced Whittington's face, neck and chest. His face is scarred and about 30 pieces of shot are still deeply embedded in his body.

      Prisoners are being abused at a "secret jail" in the main American military base in Afghanistan, according to a report from a US policy think tank.

      Ex-detainees said they were deprived of sleep and held in cold isolation cells in the site at Bagram, says New York-based Open Society Foundations.

      A BBC investigation in April uncovered similar allegations of prisoner abuse at a hidden facility in Bagram airbase.

      The US military repeated its denial that it was operating a secret jail.

      'Very troubling pattern'
      Open Society Foundations, which is funded by liberal billionaire George Soros, says 18 detainees claim they were held at a secret site, dubbed the "black jail", during 2009 and 2010.

      the Department of Defence does not operate any secret prisons”

      Capt Pamela Kunze
      US military spokeswoman
      The inmates said they were exposed to excessive cold and light, not given enough food or blankets, deprived of sleep, stripped naked for medical examinations and not allowed to practise their religion.

    • Wanting to see Cheney held accountable for his various crimes against the country (theft, treason, endangering the lives of Americans through misrepresentation a.k.a. murder) does not share correlation with voting for Obama or supporting his decisions.
      Jesus Christ, stick to the issues here.
      It doesn't always have to be about Obama and liberals, unless you have an agenda.
      This douchebag liar (open, confirmed liar) needs to be fucked by the justice system but he has a better chance of dying peacefully in his sleep than that ever happening.
      Mephistopheles will carry his tidings of souls back to hell with him.

      the issue here sir is that the people were expecting your DNC to deal with this problem..that why they voted for "CHANGE"

      ...and the DNC failed and not ONLY DID THEY NOT DEAL WITH IT..they refuse to even hear it and worse...THEY ARE DOING THE SAME SHIT..

      and did you vote DNC?..

      ... perhaps the reason why most die hard Obama voters are trying to distance from this failure to "bring people to justice" and they very fact that a lot of DNC zombies are quiet about the very same misdoings of its own political party is because you are trying to preserve an agenda..LOL

      and sticking with the theme of the conversation..did you hear an apology??

      Of course I voted DNC, I thought McCain would die after he got to office, and that was a frightening thought considering his VP. I voted for Obama because out of the two, he seemed the most likely to stick by his word and be the change in our typical executive policies. He turned out to be very disappointing, as he's not made enough changes (or any at all) to justify his campaign. But voting DNC does not make it my political party and you need to understand this about people. I have intention of "distancing myself" from the failure to bring these war criminals to justice, and I think if at the end of his term, there is a provable list of war crimes committed by Obama then he should be held accountable. Dick Cheney has a laundry list of crimes against the people and the country as a whole. He also seems to have no remorse for his crimes, he's the Nixon of his generation. The fact that no one is doing anything to further along any prosecution against him infuriates me, it's the Catholic priest scandal all over again.
      An apology from who?

      Bush had 8 years. Obama has been in office for about 2 years. He never said he was Jesus and could turn this country around in 2 year. Stop the Obama hating. He asked every American to do what they can to better this country. EVERY AMERICAN. Plus you forget about the senate and the congress don't you? If Obama did not have to fight with them on every issue, maybe you would see the change he was talking about.

      I would disagree with your assessment of the Obama Administration. Obama is an exception man with an exception understanding.

      Now, move the obstructionist Republicans (and a handful of Democrats bought off by big business) out of the way and you'd be amazed at the outcome. BUT, you must also consider what Obama inherited from these Republicans and the Busheney gang. What Obama has prevented and yet to be given credit for is enormous.

      My hat is off to President Obama and those Democrats supporting him.

      Send home the obstructionist Republicans.

      Well, like I said, his promises made during campaign time haven't quite come to bloom, and that is disappointing. But like I said, I'd like to give him time, time to continue finding the balance between making changes and pissing off republicans.
      Because although those are both great pastimes, they don't work well when done (by the president) simultaneously.

      Cheney is an asshole
      and humor is what i've been reduced too, knowing that nothing can be done anymore about the cheney years
      theyre set in stone
      and cheney will continue to be the worst example of human life until he crawls into a hole someday and dies
      to him, hes above doing anything to make anything better

      You're mixed up. The DNC never advocated for Cheney's arrest.
      The liberal movement is fragmented and not as unified as the conservative movement.
      That means the 'liberals' who wanted Cheney arrested aren't necessarily the same 'liberals' that voted in Obama.

    • Before you offer an apology you must feel you have done something wrong...now, if being largely responsible for the full blown aerial and ground assault against the Iraqi people killing a hundred thousand plus of innocent men women and children who have done absolutely nothing to us doesn't move you to an apology ...I'm sure in his eyes a mere garden variety shotgun blast to a friends face is nothing to apologize for.

    • Uhhhh what? Doesn't anyone remember HE apologized to Cheney for getting in his way.

      Edit: SEE! http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/6047 the DailyShow made fun of the fact that the dude being shot was apologizing remember?!?!

      ""My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this past week," Whittington told reporters outside Christus Spohn Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas. "We send our love and respect to them as they deal with situations that are much more serious than what we have had this week.""
