GUEST OVERVIEW: Coleen Rowley is a retired FBI special agent and former legal counsel of the Minneapolis Division of the FBI. Beginning in May 2002, Rowley testified to the 9-11 Joint Intelligence Committee Inquiry, the Senate Judiciary and to the Inspector General of the Department of Justice about the FBI's pre 9-11 lapses. The investigations confirmed that the 9-11 attacks could have been prevented or minimized if information had been properly shared within and between intelligence agencies, and most importantly with the American public. Coleen was chosen along with two other female corporate fraud whistleblowers as Time Magazine’s 2002 Persons of the Year. Rowley retired in 2004 and speaks publicly on ethical decision-making to various groups. She is a writer and blogger in addition to being a member of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) and Sam Adams Associates for Integrity.
