Washington, Jul 19 (Prensa Latina) US politicians are opposing Wednesday the blockade by President George W. Bush of an internal investigation by the Justice Ministry on legality of an unauthorized listeners program.

The condemnation took place after attorney general Alberto Gonzalez revealed in a public hearing that Bush ordered to end immediately the investigation of his government, under the argument the plan has a secret nature.

Democratic Senator Russell Feingold, one of the largest critics of the communication snooping program, said he was convinced the Supreme Court will find it unconstitutional.

A 1978 national security law establishes that intelligence services must request permission from a court before monitoring US civilian communication in this country.

The Bush administration is constant and arbitrarily violating US laws, a fact confirmed in recent accusations against Washington for watching over through intelligence agencies bank accounts by foreigners and nationals in US.
