FBI whistleblower mulls House race

From CongressDaily
Former FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowley is considering a bid for the seat held by Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., the Associated Press reported.

Rowley would run as a Democrat. Kline's 2004 opponent, Teresa Daly, said she has not decided whether to run again.

Rowley, who retired from the FBI last year, said she has spoken to people to get their advice.

Rowley was named one of TIME magazine's Persons of the Year for 2002 after she criticized the bureau for ignoring her pleas in the weeks leading up to Sept. 11, 2001, to investigate terrorism suspect Zacarias Moussaoui more aggressively. He is the only person charged in the United States in the terrorist attacks so far.
