Anyone know of good PGP/GPG-enabled IM clients? I.e. where the encryption/decryption is done on the clients so that AOL (or whatever)'s server doesn't know what's being said?

GAIM has that built-in. I think it's in all platforms, too.

Apparently they're logging searches, which they're more than willing to turn over "for the children," so I don't see any reason to assume they wouldn't do the same for IM chats.

Google chat, by default, archives all your chats and allows them to search. This is for "targetting ads," they claim.

An attorney for the ACLU said Microsoft, Yahoo and AOL received identical subpoenas and chose to comply with them rather than fight the request in court.
Yahoo acknowledged on Thursday that it complied with the Justice Department's request but said no personally identifiable information was handed over. "We are vigorous defenders of our users' privacy," said Yahoo spokeswoman Mary Osako. "We did not provide any personal information in response to the Justice Department's subpoena. In our opinion this is not a privacy issue."
