My gut instinct warns me that government or Armed Force involvement with any project that deems to make your communication "anon" is a falsehood. Freedom of speech and civil rights are completely unconnected to this issue, and anonymity is not required for honesty and integrity, so therefore is only required to conduct underhand business. Who are we hiding from? The answer is easy: Ourselves!

Bad people, bad places and bad things require tools such as these; to hide their dealings. No body needs this kind of security to send an email to their Grandma or publish a normal website! Why are people not focusing their considerable talents on defeating the people who do these "bad" things instead of protecting their interests further?

I am curious, if this facility was used to further the interests of Terrorist organisations or plan a NineEleven Type attack, do you really think that their anonymity would be preserved? Would the people who facilitated this be preserved? And more to the point, would we want them to be?
