28. How long after 9/11/01 did she testify? Was it days, weeks, months, or years later?

Wed Nov 14, 2012, 04:55 PM

Nov 2012

And did the Bush administration make her available or did they try to prevent her from testifying under oath?

Those screaming loudest today, obstructed such investigations in the past. They are the ones with no credibility today.
