<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
Vice President Dick Cheney revealed today that he shot a fellow hunter while on a quail hunting trip over the weekend because he believed the man was the fugitive terror mastermind Ayman al-Zawahiri.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
Mr.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Cheney acknowledged that the man he sprayed with pellets on Saturday was not al-Zawahiri but rather Harry Whittington,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> a 78-year-old millionaire lawyer from Austin,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> blaming the mix-up on <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"faulty intelligence.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"I believed I had credible intelligence that al-Zawahiri had infiltrated my hunting party in disguise with the intent of spraying me with pellets,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Mr.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Cheney told reporters.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"Only after I shot Harry in the face and he shouted <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>'Cheney,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> you bastard'<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> did I realize that this intelligence was faulty.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
Moments after Mr.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Cheney's assault on Mr.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Whittington,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Mr.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> al-Zawahiri appeared in a new videotape broadcast on al-Jazeera to announce that he was uninjured in the vice president's attack because,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> in his words,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"I was in Pakistan.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
An aide to the vice president said he believed that the American people would believe Mr.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Cheney's version of events,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> but added,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"If he was going to shoot any of his cronies right now it's a shame it wasn't Jack Abramoff.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
At the White House,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> President George W.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Bush defended his vice president's shooting of a fellow hunter,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> saying that the attack sent <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"a strong message to terrorists everywhere.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"The message is,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> if Dick Cheney is willing to shoot an innocent American citizen at point-blank range,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> imagine what he'll do to you,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>"<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Mr.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Bush said.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b><b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
