I'd believe one of those, not the other. ;-)

Ah, of course.  I should have known.  I first heard of onion routing 
when it was an NRL research project and it hasn't sunk in that it's an 
Open Source service yet.

Looks like some interesting papers in the Wikipedia bibliography.  I'll 
have to look at them some time and see how likely it is that TOR is 
subvertable.
