War on Terror claims another Friendly Fire victim

US VP Dick Cheney was on a mission to make the US of A safe from depredation by quails. As he turned around and blasted away to bag a another threat to homeland security, he peppered a member of his Coalition of the Willing with shotgun pellets. Harry Whittington was hit in the cheek, neck and chest, according to BBC News Online.

Ironically, Whittington was treated by Cheney's medical staff who always travel with him in case he suffers a fifth heart attack.

As Harry's a lawyer, he should sue Cheney for $1M per pellet.
