Other versions of the press release are fairly amusing, and can be 
paraphrased as follows:


Imagining a world where most nations are allied against the United States, 
the CIA is currently...

   from the do-you-want-to-play-a-game dept.
   ScentCone writes The CIA has booked some conference rooms and is
   [1]working through a simulated 'digital Pearl Harbor' to see how
   government and industry handle a monster net attack from an imaginary
   future foe composed of anti-American and anti-globalization hackers.
   Having been accused of lacking imagination about potential terror
   attacks, they're using the exercise to better shape the government's
   roles in a variety of attack scenarios. The networking industry, it
   seems, is expected to always play a big part in detecting and
   thwarting such threats, as 9/11-scale economic disruption is a likely
   bad-guy objective.

OK, what's the best way to put up a website anonymously?

Let's assume that it has nothing to do with national security...the Feds 
aren't interested.


BUT, let's assume that the existence and/or content of the website would 
probably direct a decent amount of law-suits.


Presumably there's no way to hide the ISP from the world, but one should 
hopefully be able to hide oneself and make legal action basically useless.


Egold + fake address for registering agency seems a little problematic.

And there's the question of updating the site...

Tor?  It's not immune from traffic analysis, but it's nearly the best
you can do to hide the server's location/isp from clients.


i2p is another possibility.


You can try, but good physical anonymity for commerce is difficult
unless you construct a fake identity good enough that you can use it to
open bank accounts... without leaving any compromising fingerprints that
your bank can turn over to the authorities.


Assuming you want your own SLD name, yes.  But if you can be satisfied 
with a third-level, there are a lot of domains at freedns.afraid.org 
that will let you tag on a subdomain with just a registration (and you 
can probably supply a @dodgeit.com address).  Then just add a web 
forward pointing to the Tor gateway.
