Coleen Rowley and September 11, 2001 are forever
linked. After the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Rowley
wrote a 12-page memo to FBI director Robert Mueller; criticizing the agency
for its investigation into the attacks. Rowley was an FBI agent in the Minneapolis
office weeks before 9-11. Her office investigated the case of Zacarias Moussaoui,
who had paid $8,000 for flight lessons to learn to fly a Boeing 747. Rowley's
FBI team arrested him and wanted to search his laptop. But FBI superiors in
Washington denied the request. Later, Rowley "blew the whistle"
on FBI inaction, providing fuel for congressional investigators. She appeared
before a Senate panel weeks later, and was named as one of Time's Persons
of the Year in 2002.
In April 2003, she stepped down from her legal position at the FBI, having warned -- unsuccessfully -- administration officials about the dangers of invading Iraq. In February 2005, Minnesota congresspersons and senators nominated Rowley to serve on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, the creation of which was recommended by the of the 9-11 Commission.
