Critic Is Described as Scrupulous and Determined
Former colleagues described Coleen Rowley today as a conscientious and scrupulous agent who has often found herself in the middle of the biggest cases in the F.B.I.'s office here in her past role as spokeswoman and her current position as general counsel.

"She's a determined woman and a very vigorous advocate for what she believes to be the law," said Dag Sohlberg, a former agent who worked in the office for 26 years before retiring in 1998. "She is very detail-oriented and exacting."
