Voting Against the War on Terror

Three days after 9/11 Congresswoman Barbara Lee became the most hated woman in America.

Just three days after the 9/11 attacks on America, Congress gave the President the power to order military action against any person, organisation or country suspected of involvement in the attacks - without needing congressional approval.

Witness speaks to Congresswoman Barbara Lee, the only member of the legislature to oppose the new powers.
