FBI's Rowley pulls no punches in critique (Remember this brave young lady
WASHINGTON, D.C. --
Coleen Rowley, the
Minneapolis FBI agent
who accused bureau
headquarters of bungling
chances to foil the Sept.
11 attacks, is criticizing
the Bush administration
for "whittling away our
civil liberties."

In an opinion piece
published in today's Star
Tribune, Rowley takes
issue with U.S. Attorney
General John Ashcroft's
assertion in a Twin Cities
speech last month that America "is freer today than at any time in the history of
human freedom."

2. One of her bosses - one of the people she was criticizing
Received a presidential medal or some such nonsense when he should have been fired for incompetence. She must have seen the writing on the wall.

We're pretty well through the looking-glass when an FBI agent bemoans the erosion of civil liberties. :crazy: Topsy-turvy world.
