Just a little thing on perspective. It is almost always easier to fight something from the outside then it is from the inside.
Sometimes people get characterized in negative light because they appear to outsiders that they are just going thru the motions, but in reality, sometimes much more is going on that meets the eye. Sometimes, that person is someone that cares so much, that they want to make a difference from the toughest place to be – on the inside. Because they know so much is at stake. Because they care and believe.
F.B.I. Agent Coleen Rowley is just such a person. She didn’t run to newspapers on Sept. 12th and blurted to the world what she felt was wrong. No – she fights from the inside. That’s courage to me.
I watched her testimony the other day and I couldn’t help but think of her as a person with tons of honor. It’s a word that’s rarely used anymore. She has it in spades.
