NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal judge criticized the Bush administration on Thursday for delaying a decision on a visa for one of Europe's best known Muslim intellectuals. 

"I have the impression the government steps on the brake and steps on the accelerator depending on what it wants to do," U.S. District Judge Paul Crotty said during a hearing on whether renowned Swiss theologian Tariq Ramadan can be allowed entry to the United States after being barred since 2004.
