Logs - "In November of 2001 AOL Time Warner, responding to a subpoena from
Attorney General John Ashcroft, made available to the Justice Department a
complete archive of all private conversations held over AOL Instant
Messenger (AIM). Through the power of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),
Googol was able to obtain a copy of this entire logfile, totaling over 2
terabytes of conversations previously thought to be private. This unique
resource provides insight into the minds of potential anti-American
terrorists, cheating spouses, and countless computer neophytes."
