Ex-FBI Whistle-Blower Mulls Congress Bid By FREDERIC J. FROMMER, Associated Press Writer http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2005/05/23/politics/p114723 D08.DTL

A former FBI whistle-blower who urged the agency to investigate terrorism suspect Zacarias Moussaoui in the weeks before Sept. 11, 2001, is considering a race for Congress in Minnesota.
Coleen Rowley told The Associated Press on Monday she will make a decision by early next month on whether to run as a Democrat against incumbent GOP Rep. John Kline in next year's election.
Rowley, who retired from the FBI last year, said she's spoken to people to get their input, both inside and outside of politics, but has been put off by some suggestions that she get a "makeover."
"I've butted heads with a few people ? anyone who tells me I have to spruce up my hair and buy a new wardrobe," Rowley said, declining to identify the source of this unwanted advice. "I haven't worn makeup since I was 21. You have to be authentic and genuine in serving the populace."
