Former FBI agent Coleen Rowley was one of three whistleblowers chosen as persons of the year by TIME magazine in 2002, and remains very active.
After running for Congress in Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District in 2006, she came to the position of saying "it's far better to stay as a non-partisan, but more issue-based."
On December 4, 2011, Rowley wrote a piece called Bringing the War on Terror Home at http://www.consortiumnews.com/, also posted on Michael Moore's website, on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012, which allows the military to operate domestically within the borders of the United States and to possibly (or most probably) detain U.S. citizens without trial. (Former CIA Analyst Ray McGovern also wrote about the legislation at Consortiumnews - Are Americans in Line for Gitmo?
In June, 2008, I met Rowley in Minneapolis at the National Conference on Media Reform, and had the opportunity to sit down and record a conversation with her. I thought this might be a good time to re-air that conversation.
