<b>Bomb within earshot of Cheney kills 23 </b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->BAGRAM, Afghanistan - In what the Taliban claimed was an assassination attempt, a suicide bomber attacked the main gate of a U.S. military base Tuesday within earshot of Vice President    Dick Cheney. The explosion killed 23 people, including two Americans, and delivered a propaganda blow that undercut the U.S. military and the weak Afghan government it supports. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
