Colleen Rowley was an FBI agent in Michigan who reported that her office's efforts to get Zacharias Moussaoui's computer info were stymied by the rules that forbade agents from looking at a personal computer unless they had proof the suspect had committed certain acts (I'm quoting from what I remember). The fact that the FBI had raided ZM's crummy little apartment and found it full of suspicious explosives and stuff wasn't considered concrete enough.

OMG! I don't think I can handle it if this is really true! WHAT KIND OF RULES ARE THESE AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTING THEM?

WHAT KIND OF RULES ARE THESE AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTING THEM?

It was the no-sharing-of-information rules implemented by the Clintons. Jamie Gorelick in particular. President Bush has since gotten rid of most of the rules as far as I know.

Cowllen Rowley is a way wacko Leftist who got lucky ONE time. Let's keep in mind her support for Cindy banSheehan last Aug, and here Moveon.org managed run for Congress here in Mn before elevating her to Media Sainthood.
