WASHINGTON- The Bush administration must give to a federal court documents related to government wiretapping of domestic communications without a warrant after the Sept. 11 attacks, according to a recent court order.

U.S. District Judge Henry Kennedy signed the order on Friday requiring the U.S. Justice Department to provide the court for private review certain documents that were sought in lawsuits filed by the civil liberties groups.

Kennedy ordered the administration to provide the documents from the White House Office of Legal Counsel by Nov. 17, and said he will review them in private to see if their release would endanger national security. snip

The White House and the department could not be reached for comment.
