Tor hack proposed to catch criminals
Robert Lemos, SecurityFocus 2007-03-08

The Tor network--a distributed system of computers that anonymizes the source of network traffic--has a slew of beneficial uses: Human-rights workers, the military and journalists all use the system. However, the anonymity of Tor has also attracted seedier elements as well: digital pirates, online criminals and, quite possibly, child pornographers.

If he said "I am doing this to further freedom and improve Tor" then I might agree with your statement. But contrary to that approach Moore is also calling for the deployment of nodes with the attack code integrated - I think this demonstrates his disdain for the civil liberties goals of the tor project. If he honestly things anonymity isn't a human right - and should be limited then he has a right to that opinion, I hope he fails though.
