Ramesh Ponnuru on Coleen Rowley & War on National Review Online

  • oleen
    Rowley, the celebrated "FBI whistle-blower," is back. She first
    came to public attention last summer, when she wrote a memo complaining
    that the FBI had ignored her pre-9/11 request for a warrant to search
    the computer of Zacarias Moussaoui, who has since been indicted as a 9/11
    conspirator. (The memo was sent to FBI director Robert Mueller and to
    two senators; to Rowley's apparent shock, it was leaked to the press.)
    Time magazine made her one of its "persons of the year,"
    declaring that she was a woman of "ordinary demeanor but exceptional
    guts and sense."

  • Now Rowley, a special
    agent based in Minneapolis, has written another memo. This time she has
    eliminated the middleman by sending it to the New York Times herself
    as well as to FBI director Mueller. The Times has returned the
    favor by giving her memo page-one treatment ("Agent Who Saw 9/11
    Lapses Still Faults F.B.I. on Terror").

    The memo, unlike
    the old one, includes no new information. It's just a rehashing of an
    argument against a war with Iraq that is already in wide circulation:
    that such a war would set back the war on terrorism. All that is new is
    a deeply strange polemical twist or two. Rowley is trading on her reputation
    as a "whistle-blower" to make it sound as though there is something
    particularly authoritative about this argument when it comes from her.

Op-Ed Columnist - Cheney Lost to Bush - NYTimes.com

  • President Obama and Dick Cheney conspired on Thursday to propagate a myth. The myth is that we lived through an eight-year period of Bush-Cheney anti-terror policy and now we have entered a very different period called the Obama-Biden anti-terror policy. As both Obama and Cheney understand, this is a completely bogus distortion of history.
