Question: WAS or WAS NOT Rice's 4-hour private under oath?

I've heard it both ways--that she was and that she was not sworn in.

Is there a definitive source for this?

All the Dems have been saying she was not under oath.

If her private testimony was under oath, that would go a long way in quelling the Dems' whining. But if she was not, they may have a point in wanting her to answer questions under oath.

I've heard many different stories. From her side, she was giving sworn testimony behind closed doors for 4 hours (I suspect because of the nature of the testimony), the liberal media said she's refused to testify, or the liberal media has said the White House refuses to turn her over, while she said to the liberal media that she'd welcome the chance to testify in public.
