DOJ: We can't give you the data because it would destroy the computer system:

"Implementing such a request risks a crash that cannot be fixed and could result in a major loss of data, which would be devastating," wrote Thomas J. McIntyre, chief in the Justice Department's office for information requests.

Wow. Hope they never have a situation where they, say, need backups... (via HGR1219).
