WAMM’s own Coleen Rowley on Democracy Now! speaking about the Senate hearing on the appointment of James Comey as head of the FBI. Coleen is a member of the board of directors of Women Against Military Madness. Coleen’s article on questions to ask at the Senate hearing was published in the New York Times OpEd pages on July 8th.
[youtube=http://youtu.be/kqPO9NjHj9Q] Published on Jul 10, 2013At his confirmation hearing to head the FBI, former Bush administration Deputy Attorney General James Comey refused to criticize the broad, ongoing collection of the phone records of Americans and defended the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens deemed to be enemy combatants. Comey also explained why he signed off on a memo authorizing waterboarding while serving under Attorney General John Ashcroft. We get reaction from former special FBI agent Coleen Rowley, who served with the Bureau from 1981 to 2004. The New York Times just published her op-ed titled, “Questions for the FBI Nominee.” In 2002, Time Magazine named her and two other female whistleblowers as Time’s “Person of the Year,” for warning about the FBI’s failure to help prevent the 9/11 attacks.
