Unless they just got a supercomputer that can crack PGP/GPG, it's not
"all forms" of communications that they can intercept.  I'm not
surprised about Skype-the US government has long complained about Skype's
call encryption but since Gates and Co. bought Skype they've since removed
the encryption so Uncle Sam can spy on you easier.

Later,
Sean
