Whistleblower, former CIA analyst urge questioning of candidates' foreign policy views
An FBI whistleblower and a retired CIA analyst Saturday encouraged questioning presidential candidates on their foreign policy views as they discussed intelligence failings in the lead-up to the Iraq War.
Coleen Rowley and Ray McGovern spoke to a full conference room at University Book & Supply as part of a nine-city Iowa tour dubbed "The Truth Shall Make You Free," sponsored by the state's three chapters of Veterans for Peace and 31 other organizations. They also spoke at the Waterloo Center for the Arts on Saturday.
Rowley, an Iowa native, was the Federal Bureau of Investigation agent who made public the bureau's failures related to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. She is now retired from the FBI.
McGovern worked for the Central Intelligence Agency from 1963 to 1990. In the 1980s, he chaired National Intelligence Estimates and prepared the president's daily brief.
