Report: Cheney's "Judgement" Led to Whittington's Heart Attack 
According to Peter Banko, the hospital administrator at Christus Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi-Memorial, Whittington experienced the heart attack early this morning.
He said there was an irregularity in the heartbeat caused by a pellet, and doctors performed a cardiac catheterization. Whittington expressed a desire to leave the hospital, but Banko said he would probably stay for another week.Whittington had initially been placed in intensive care. He had been moved to a "step-down unit" Monday after doctors decided to leave several birdshot pellets lodged in his skin rather than try to remove them.

The wildlife department issued a report Monday that found the main factor contributing to the accident was a "hunter's judgment factor." No other secondary factors were found to have played a role.
Could this heart attack be one of those possibilities that the administration refused to acknowledge?
Truth is, the Administration's record of withholding information to cover their collective ass is long and distinguished:
Recall Cheney's 'Energy Task Force', NSA Domestic spying, Response to Katrina, Stowing of Bush-the-first's and Reagan's presidential papers, and then there was this back in May of 2003...
The administration withheld information from congress regarding dealings with Iraq and North Korea, according to Bush administration sources.
"When the U.S. was notified, through formal diplomatic channels, that North Korea had nuclear technology, Congress was in the midst of discussing the Iraqi war resolution. Rove counseled the president to keep that information from Congress for 12 days, until the debate was finished, so it would not affect the vote."As you could probably guess, such information would most likely have given pause to the members of congress and caused at least those on the fence to reconsider the issue and its inevitable future implications. There is a good chance that congress would not have given Bush the 'blank check' that they did had they been aware of the situation brewing on the Peninsula.
From here on, we along with the rest of the world might wonder what else the administration is withholding while awaiting a more favorable and less conspicuous timeline for presentation
So is this a conspiracy theory?
Puh-leeeeease. With this administration, there is no such thing!
Regardless, according to the report, it was the "hunter's judgment" (i.e. Cheney's judgment) that was solely responsible for the accident that loaded Whittington with birdshot, and it was the birdshot that led to Whittington's heart attack. If 'B' results only from 'A', and 'C' results only from 'B', then logically, 'C' results only from 'A'.
78-year-old Whittington is still listed as 'stable'.
Cheney's "judgment" is listed as 'critical' and 'failing'.
