Encrypt an IM, prove (at the
time) that it came from you, and deny it later. The
authentication works only when the message is sent; anybody
can forge all the messages he wants afterwards (toolkit included).
Captured or archived messages prove nothing. And forward
secrecy means Big Brother can't read your messages even if
he wiretaps you AND grabs your computer later on. All the gooey goodness
of crypto, with none of the consequences!
They have a

spec, source
code, and Debian

You are criminally irresponsible for voting for Bush. Did you? Doesn't matter, if you can call me a criminal for no reason, I can call you a criminal for no reason.
On a side note: kudos to you for being able to figure out how to post a message here.
