Appeals court agrees to hear Bush appeal in domestic eavesdropping lawsuit - iht,america,US Domestic Spying Lawsuit - Americas - International Herald Tribune:

"A federal appeals court agreed to review a lower court's ruling that kept alive a lawsuit challenging President George W. Bush's domestic eavesdropping program.

The government is appealing U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker's refusal to dismiss the lawsuit even though the Bush administration asserts the case could expose government secrets and put the United States at risk. Walker ruled that warrantless eavesdropping has been so widely reported that there appears to be no danger of spilling secrets."
