FBI Whistle-Blower to Run for Congress
By FREDERIC J. FROMMER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Former FBI whistle-blower Coleen Rowley will run for Congress as a Democrat in Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District, where she hopes to knock off GOP Rep. John Kline.

"I'm concerned about the direction of the country," Rowley said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "We have done things that have made us less safe, among them the Iraq invasion and the loss of our allies and the moral high ground in international affairs."

Rowley, 50, was named one of Time magazine's Persons of the Year for 2002 after writing a critical memo on FBI intelligence failures.

She had sought a seat this year on the new Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, designed to ensure that government actions in the war on terror do not infringe on people's rights. But when President Bush appointed members of the board earlier this month, Rowley's name was not on the list. She said that was a factor in deciding to run for Congress.

I hope she does well against John "I carried the football" Kline. Rowley has lots of experiance to stand on. Kline is an empty suit follower.

8. YA

I am ecstatic. I live in Lakeville and I can not stand John Kline. His supporters vandalized Lakeville High School last year. She is a much better DFL member to run against Kline. Better I mean than the Daly disaster. I am already a huge supporter!
