"WASHINGTON - The government has abruptly ended an inquiry into the warrantless eavesdropping program because the National Security Agency refused to grant Justice Department lawyers the necessary security clearance to probe the matter.
The inquiry headed by the Justice Department?s Office of Professional Responsibility, or OPR, sent a fax to Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y., on Wednesday saying they were closing their inquiry because without clearance their lawyers cannot examine Justice lawyers? role in the program.
?We have been unable to make any meaningful progress in our investigation because OPR has been denied security clearances for access to information about the NSA program,? OPR counsel H. Marshall Jarrett wrote to Hinchey. Hinchey?s office shared the letter with The Associated Press."
