Republican Breaks Rank on NSA Issue
Upcoming Congressional elections can be beneficial. The Republican chairwoman of the House subcommittee that oversees the NSA is calling for a full Congressional investigation into the Bush administration’s intelligence gathering program.
Representative Heather A. Wilson of New Mexico, chairwoman of the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Technical and Tactical Intelligence, said in an interview that she had "serious concerns" about the surveillance program. By withholding information about its operations from many lawmakers, she said, the administration has deepened her apprehension about whom the agency is monitoring and why.
Given Bush’s ratings over several months, I suspect we will see more Republicans breaking ranks. How can they justify it to their constituents if they do not? Never will all of them bail out, but I foresee a steady trickle that hopefully will lead to a substantial group run.
