'Their hair was on fire': Inside the ignored FBI warning before 9/11
Coleen Rowley is a former FBI special agent and one of the bureau’s most prominent whistle blowers. She rose to national attention after publicly testifying that the FBI had ignored critical intelligence about a suspected terrorist prior to the September 11 attacks—revelations that prompted a two-year investigation by the US Department of Justice.
Rowley jointly held the Time magazine Person of the Year award in 2002 with two other women credited as whistle blowers. As of 2024, Rowley is a member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. She was a special agent with the FBI, who became chief division counsel in Minneapolis in 1990, where she taught constitutional law to FBI agents and police officers.
In May 2002 she testified to the Senate and the 9/11 Commission about the FBI's pre-9/11 lapses due to its internal organization and mishandling of information related to the attacks. Rowley also talked about Minneapolis and Minnesota Field Officers about their investigation of suspected terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui.
