Coleen Rowley, the FBI whistleblower who took on then-Director Robert Mueller over botched terrorism investigations, reportedly is considering a run for Congress.
Rowley told Time magazine she'd decide within two weeks whether she'd take on GOP Rep. John Kline in the race for Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District seat.
"What's the worst that could happen?" she said. "I lose and get humiliated."
Rowley was named one of Time's three Persons of the Year for 2002, after she wrote a letter to Mueller contending that bureaucracy in FBI headquarters had hampered Minneapolis agents' investigation of Zacarias Moussaoui, who recently pleaded guilty to plotting with Al Qaeda.
A 50-year-old Democrat, Rowley would start as an underdog in the heavily Republican district. Rowley, who retired from the FBI in December, objects to Kline's support of the Iraq war and President Bush.
Well Well Well .. what a blast from the past
She'll run.
Would you want to be represented by a Congressperson who realized that this was a terrorism plot, but still could not convince her superiors?
A could'a, would'a, should'a great American vs. a great American.
Colleen vs. Kline.
