They can destroy Aaron Swartz' character in one article and use him now to promote their project without a single qualm. And, they can hire Poulsen who has publically compared Tor and Tor users to terrorists and worse in the pages of their sister publication Wired (once so egregiously that even in this day of op/ed journalism, I got a retraction) to maintain it, since who would understand the architecture and user needs better? This proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, their journalistic integrity. /end snark Standard disclaimer: haven't spoken for Tor officially since 2007. But geeeez. This seems special. Of course, I imagine it doesn't make a fig of difference to the average observer, but it's stunning how bold obscurantist things like this I can see make me wonder -- what richness am I just missing in my environment daily for lack of awareness of the foxes that surround me?
