I recall reading that Carnivore had the capability to do more than e-mail, including Web communications and instant messaging, when it was first revealed. Further, the FBI never said it could only obtain headers (though for content, a Title III court order is needed, which has a higher legal standard than for pens/trap/trace). To confirm that, I just went to the FBI Web site and searched on Carnivore. It is clear to me from reading these materials (going back to July hearings) that Carnivore has this broader capability. Whoever issued that highly inaccurate statement should be embarrased, not the FBI. Dorothy
