Yes, The Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) was used to seize Indymedia servers in London.
The order was issued by US authorities against Rackspace US for logfiles on servers hosted by their UK registered subsidiary company over the posting of a picture which showed Italian Police murdering a demonstrator in Rome.
Rackspace US responded by delivering the entire servers to the US authorities.
Wrong, in so many ways wrong.
Here's interferometry for the liberal arts majors:
A laser generates a beam of light.
The beam can be thought of as a stream of photons.
The laser beam is split in two by a beam splitter.
The two beams are recombined.
Objects in the confluence can be detected by the interference patterns they generate.
Note:
A laser is a device that produces phase coherent light.
A laser is not a beam splitter.
A beam splitter is a pair of prisms formed into a cube used to split light beams.
Putting a laser in an atom's path is... best I stop now.

At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now.
"Qatar Telecom (Qtel) said on Sunday the cable was damaged between the Qatari island of Haloul and the UAE island of Das on Friday."
Now a little information:
Submarine fibre optic cables are fitted with amplifiers every 10-20km.
These require electricity to produce the light which pumps the Erbium doped fibre which in turn amplifies the signal.
This power system could be damaged which would stop the amplifiers from working.
Optical Time Domain reflectometry (OTDR) is used to assess the optical condition of the cable.
By observing the light reflected back down the cable, operators can see, in real time, damage or even stress.
This is how they know how many km from any particular place the cable is damaged.
It is possible that the cable was damaged enough to kill the power, but that the optical fibres remained intact.
TFA is too brief and too inconsistant to use as an authority on how the cables were damaged.
This judgement will have to wait until the cables are examined first in situ and latter on the deck of the repair ship.
Here's a list:
30Jan2008 SEA-ME-WE-3 10Gbps near Il Iskandariyah (unconfirmed report, low capacity)
30Jan2008 SEA-ME-WE-4 near Marseille (reported in the New York Times)
30Jan2008 0459Z SEA-ME-WE-4 1.28Tbps cut 8.3k from Il Iskandariyah
30Jan2008 0800Z FLAG cut 8.3k from Il Iskandariyah
01Feb2008 0559Z Falcon 2.56Tbps cut 56km from Dubai
01Feb2008 QTEL damaged between Haloul and Das islands
Australian and Iranian state media both report Egypt saying it has evidence that no ships were in the vicinity of the Il Iskanadriyah cuts..
Some of the more clueful analyses (Renesys and ?) send eyebrows flying because at no point do they mention Iran. This omission justifies investigation into their loyalties. Those to whom they owe fealty then become suspects.
On the matter of Iranian connectivity:
Many people have been screaming that Iran has been cut off the net mostly based on internettrafficreport.com indicating that router1.iust.ac.ir (194.225.239.1) is not replying to pings.
A large proportion of routers and other internet hosts do not respond to pings. Ping replys are often disabled as a defence against attack or when a machine is working near capacity.
