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.

+ Anonymity - Anonymity = Back to square one 2007-03-12

Tor was created so that one can be anonymous on internet. The hack is trying to defeat the basic purpose (Whatever be the reason in support of it) of Tor. We are back to square one. I seriously believe that any Tor user will not like that.

We need to have a control model in place, but this is surely not the right way to achieve it.
