Yes we do know - it was the Governor who held things up. Col. Hunt's team investigated this and he gave a report on this on O'Reilly last night. He specifically said the Governor would not "pull the trigger" to authoize action.

So there's a paper trail to back this up -- that she did not formally request help to well into the week?

I would like to have some link to send to doubters.

My source was Col. David Hunt on Friday's "The O'Reilly Factor". O'Reilly stated that Col. Hunt and "his team" (well-connected military, former-military and intelligence personnel) undertook the investigation for Fox News. For any "paper trail" you'll have to call them.
