WASHINGTON (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.''
