Change in the Cheney story

According to the NYTimes this morning, contrary to several previous reports, the sheriffs did interview Mr. Cheney that night, so, I will back off the alcohol questions if that is what happened.

But I still feel justified in asking those questions with the previous version of the story that the sheriff's department was prevented from talking to the shooter until 8 AM. If that's the truth, that, to me, sounds like ample sobering up time.

(Later) Here's the AP version from today in which the head of the secret service says the interview took place at 8AM the next day. Personally, I believe this version.

Also, the CBSnews piece which first alleged that sheriff's were kept away from the vice president has had that section of the article removed. I have the relevant excerpt from the original here as update 2, and here is the current CBS version missing several paragraphs. (Totally not cool CBS. If you're gonna change the story, pull it out, but put a retraction at the bottom saying what you did.)

Will somebody just tell me what happened!!!!!!
