A federal judge on Monday deferred making an immediate decision on a
request that the Bush administration's domestic eavesdropping program
be halted as a violation of law.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which filed the lawsuit in January,
asked U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor to stop the White House
from intercepting international phone calls and e-mails without a
warrant in its fight against terrorism, saying it violates Americans'
free speech and privacy rights.
