MN-02
(Map)
Rowley’s Minneapolis team arrested Moussaoui. They understood the imminent threat of suicide-hijacking. She carried the fight to Washington.
After 9/11 happened Rowley kicked in the afterburners. she attracted strong allies, including F.B.I. Director Robert Mueller, then went and fixed the problem at The Bureau.
Rowley’s 12-page paper for Director Mueller details exactly how the 9/11 attacks slipped through. She is gifted at organizing tactical details. She understands bureaucracy.
Mueller and Grassley leveraged her report to get the new Office of Intelligence at F.B.I. This operation is now our version of Great Britain’s Scotland Yard.
Want ot know why we haven’t been attacked again ???
More than anything else, its because Rowley/Mueller/Grassley got the FBI its new Office of Intelligence.
Rowley is a mom, pro-adoption, favors legal abortion, supports Murtha on the need to redeploy in Iraq, and probably knows more about counterterrorism than any other public figure running for office.
For background: Rowley was a key member of the F.B.I. team that broke organized crime in New York, supporting Giuliani in the 1980s. There’s a testimonial or two up on www.coleenrowley.com that have the details of her work and that team’s overall impact.
Amazing—the Democratic Party today can attract people like Rowley. First-rate career law enforcement. That is a major sea change.
At this point she’s down 3% with almost a third of MN-02 not reached with name recognition.
GREAT POLITICAL INVESTMENT ! Great American !
