Is this about the truth or politics? If they didn't want her to speak then they shouldn't have had her come back.

Absolutely -- this is what I saw from it as well.
GWB was stupid to let her testify, he knew that this was all about politics and nothing to do with finding the truth. His administration clearly isn't very smart politically -- they give up to Democrats on so many issues (prescription drugs, the farm bill, education bill) expecting some sort of reciprocation from them. Instead, he merely leads himself into a trap time and time again.

Come on, ustwo, you know better than that. How do you disentangle the two? It's not as though it's about one and not the other.

The 15 hours of private testimony was about the truth. The cry for public testimony was purely political. The idea that truth is entangled with politics seems backwards to me. Politics is entangled with outright lies, to obscure the truth.
