NSA eavesdropping program ruled unconstitutional.

Judge orders immediate halt to program.

DETROIT, Michigan (AP) -- A federal judge ruled Thursday that the 
government's warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional and 
ordered an immediate halt to it.

U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit became the first judge 
to strike down the National Security Agency's program, which she says 
violates the rights to free speech and privacy.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit on behalf of 
journalists, scholars and lawyers who say the program has made it 
difficult for them to do their jobs. They believe many of their overseas 
contacts are likely targets of the program, which involves secretly 
taping conversations between people in the U.S. and people in other 
countries.
