More Republicans breaking ranks over domestic wiretapping.

When Representative Heather A. Wilson broke ranks with President Bush on Tuesday to declare her "serious concerns" about domestic eavesdropping, she gave voice to what some fellow Republicans were thinking, if not saying.

Now they are speaking up — and growing louder.

In interviews over several days, Congressional Republicans have expressed growing doubts about the National Security Agency program to intercept international communications inside the United States without court warrants. A growing number of Republicans say the program appears to violate the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the 1978 law that created a court to oversee such surveillance, and are calling for revamping the FISA law.

See? What did I say?

I think this is just the beginning! Soon we will see an exodus of Republicans unable to swallow this program as an anti-terror measure and see it for what it is, a way for Bush to keep tabs on his enemies.

Another point for the side of honesty and integrity in government.
