I read "the Rowley memo", and except for the part where she states that her involvement with the Maoussaui case was trivial, the memo NOTHING BUT CONJECTURE. "I believe" this, "I believe some of my information comes from you and other sources", "I believe that", "I believe"....
I was giving her the benefit of the doubt before I read that memo, even though I felt her methods were extremely inappropriate and self serving. Oh, and who is this guy "Everyone" whom "AG Ashcroft" supposedly accused of being a traitor? Lets see agent "Everyone" step forward and CONFIRM this allegation.
In my opinion, Mrs. Rowley's use of the term "I believe" is totally understandable considering that she's putting her 20 year career on the line by questioning her ultimate boss. If you read the memo without the words "I believe" and assume that everything that she said in it was fact, it's pretty damning.
So perhaps you want to be skeptical. That's fine. But I've got 50 years experience with dealing with "bureaucracies" and "bureaucrats", and "I believe" that she's hit the target.
