Coleen Rowley

Coleen Rowley
Coleen Rowley is a former special agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. After September 11th, she sent a letter to current F.B.I. director Robert Mueller explaining how personnel at the F.B.I. headquarters in the District of Columbia failed to take action on intelligence provided by the Minneapolis Field Office, which was at the time investigating Zacarias Moussaoui, who conspired to commit the attack on 9/11. In 2002, she also testified to the senate and the 9/11 commission about multiple mishandlings of information prior to the attacks, resulting in a near complete reorganization of the F.B.I. and the formation of a new Office of Intelligence to prevent any such issues in the future. She faced virtually no repercussions and retired at her own volition from her position as a special agent in 2004.
