Judge orders emergency hearing on FBI's Carnivore WASHINGTON, Aug 2 (Reuters) - A federal judge ordered an emergency hearing on Wednesday on a privacy rights group's request for the immediate release of details on Carnivore, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's e-mail surveillance tool. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), in its application to the judge, accused the FBI and the U.S. Justice Department of breaching the law by failing to act on a request for fast-track processing of a Freedom of Information Act query about the snooping system. The FBI told Congress last month that Carnivore is designed to intercept data from the electronic mail of a criminal suspect by monitoring traffic at an Internet service provider. EPIC wants the FBI to disclose how it works. U.S. District Judge James Robinson set the hearing for 3:30 p.m. EDT (1930 GMT) at the federal courthouse in Washington. Attorney General Janet Reno said last week that technical specifications of the system would be disclosed to a "group of experts." REUTERS * end of story *
