And the hits keep coming...Is Dubya ready for this...? dailykos.com GOP Intelligence Chairwoman Calls For Full Congressional Hearings by georgia10 Tue Feb 07, 2006 at 08:47:11 PM PDT Yet another Democrat...er, Republican with a pre-9/11 mindset, right Karl? 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. Ms. Wilson, who was a National Security Council aide in the administration of President Bush's father, is the first Republican on either the House's Intelligence Committee or the Senate's to call for a full Congressional investigation into the program, in which the N.S.A. has been eavesdropping without warrants on the international communications of people inside the United States believed to have links with terrorists. With so many Republicans coming out against Bush's spying program, Karl's blacklist will be pretty long. If he follows through on his promise to suck all of them dry of campaign funds, we just may have ourselves a Democratic majority in 2006. ;) Whether Wilson's decision comes from conscience or dangerous poll numbers, as Chairwoman of the House subcommittee, she's in the position to make the White House very, very nervous.
