We are wasting too much attention on the Cheney incident

Easy summary:

He was on a double date, he was a bit tipsy, if not drunk, and he shot a friend, who was probably closer than 30 yards. Thirty yards for a small shotgun like a 28 gauge is a long distance. I'm surprised that the pellets broke through clothes, let alone skin.


While it's clear that the administration is being run amok (with all the contradictory reports and reporting), we should be more focused on:

1. Libby instructed to release classified info
2. Related, Valerie Plame was indeed covert and working on Iranian intelligence. Yes, Iranian Intel. Could we use some now?
3. Domestic spying investigation: Why hasn't the media called for an INDEPENDENT investigation?
   
4. Why isn't Alberto Gonzales, the AG, charged with perjury for lying during his confirmation hearing? Remember how he claimed that a domestic wiretap question was "hypothetical?" It wasn't, he lied.

How much time are we wasting on Cheney? Hire some investigators to keep the story alive, but otherwise, I'm a bit more concerned about my country being run into the ground more than dead-eye dick.
