Subject: Google vs Bush Administration

"The Bush administration on Wednesday asked a federal judge to order
Google to turn over a broad range of material from its closely guarded
databases. The move is part of a government effort to revive an Internet
child protection law struck down two years ago by the U.S. Supreme
Court...The government indicated that other, unspecified search engines
have agreed to release the information, but not Google."
