It's not a plot by the CIA!

Cheney's hunting accident was a terrible tragedy, mostly for the person who got shot. But one good thing about it is that it might demonstrate to certain conspiracy minded people that the U.S. government finds it very hard to cover up a severe wounding, let alone mass murders or other bizarre inccidents. If they can’t cover up Cheney’s accident how likely is it that the U.S. government is capable of pulling off all the X-Files stuff they are often accused of, running from covering up alien landings, faking manned moon missions and keeping a division of Soviet troops inside a disused salt mine in Utah? I’m much more worried about U.S. government anti-conspiracies where they tell everyone in the world what they are going to do, such as invade another country without a proper rational, deny that global warming exists, insist that deficits don’t matter and so on.
