-we've done our best to anonymize them when appropriate.

+Like any technology, from pencils to cellphones to airplanes, anonymity can be used for both good and evil.
+You have probably seen at least some of the vigorous debate
+(<a href="http://www.wired.com/politics/security/commentary/securitymatters/2006/01/70000">pro</a>,
+<a href="http://www.edge.org/q2006/q06_4.html#kelly">con</a>,
+and
+<a href="http://web.mit.edu/gtmarx/www/anon.html">academic</a>)
+over anonymity. The Tor project is based on the belief that anonymity is not just a good idea some of the time - it is a requirement for a free and functioning society. The <a href="http://www.eff.org/issues/anonymity">EFF has a good overview</a> of how anonymity was crucial to the founding of the United States and has been recognized by US courts as a fundamental and important right. In fact, governments mandate anonymity in many cases themselves:
+<a href="https://www.crimeline.co.za/default.asp">police tip lines</a>,
+<a href="http://www.texasbar.com/Content/ContentGroups/Public_Information1/Legal_Resources_Consumer_Information/Family_Law1/Adoption_Options.htm#sect2">adoption services</a>,
+<a href="http://writ.news.findlaw.com/aronson/20020827.html">police officer identities</a>,
+and so forth. It would be impossible to rehash the entire anonymity debate here - it is too large an issue with too many nuances, and there are plenty of other places where this information can be found. We do have a <a href="page faq-abuse">Tor abuse</a> page describing some of the possible abuse cases for Tor, but suffice it to say that if you want to abuse the system, you'll either find it mostly closed for your purposes (e.g. the majority of Tor relays do not support port 25 to prevent anonymous email spamming), or if you're one of the
+<a href="http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/12/computer_crime_1.html">Four Horsemen of the Internet</a>,

+sell your Internet browsing records</a>
+to marketers or anyone else willing to pay for it. They typically say that 
+they anonymize it by not providing your username or personally 
+identifiable information, but
+<a href="http://www.wired.com/politics/security/news/2006/08/71579?currentPage=all">this is a farce</a>.
+A full record of every
+site you visit, the text of every search you perform, and potentially 
+userid and even password information can still be part of this data.
+In addition to your ISP, the websites
+(<a href="http://www.google.com/privacy_faq.html">and search engines</a>)
+you visit have their own logs,
+containing the same or more information.

-<p>Anonymity helps defeat marketing that doesn't have your permissions.
-There are all kinds of unscrupulous marketing techniques that track your
-activity
-to build marketing databases, often selling your private information
-without your permission.  Tor, used appropriately,
-helps defeat many of these violations
-of your privacy.</p>
+<li>
+<strong> They protect their communications from irresponsible corporations.</strong>
+All over the net, Tor is being recommended to people newly concerned
+about their privacy in the face of increasing breaches and betrayals of
+private data. From

+<strong>They protect their children online.</strong>
 You've told your kids they shouldn't share personally identifying
 information online, but they may be sharing their location simply
-by not concealing their IP address.  Increasingly, IP
-addresses can be literally mapped to street locations, and in the US the
-government is pushing to get this mapping closer and closer to 
-street addresses.

 Or perhaps you are worried that if you research a particular set of
 symptoms, at some later date an insurance company might buy the 
 logs of the websites you visited and establish that
 you had suspicions of a pre-existing condition.

-<li>...see how the rest of the world lives</li>

-<p>Tor allows you to see the World Wide
-Web from a different perspective.  Want to see Google come up in Polish?
-If you leave the Tor cloud at a Polish Tor relay, you'll see what
-Poland sees online.  Want to check the differential pricing offered by
-an online retailer or wholesaler to folks in another country, compared
-to the pricing offered to you or your company?  Tor can
-provide that window to the world.</p>

-<h2>Journalists use Tor</h2>
-
+<h2>Soldiers in the field use Tor</h2>
 <ul>
 
-<li>Reporters without Borders</li>
+<li>
+<strong>Military field agents:</strong>
+How much, do you imagine, would the Iraqi insurgency pay to find out
+the location of every computer in Baghdad that logged into a military
+server in Maryland to read email?  Tor can protect military personnel in
+the field by hiding their location.
+</li>
 
-<p><a href="http://www.rsf.org/">Reporters without Borders</a> advises
-journalists, sources, bloggers, and dissidents online to use Tor to
-ensure their privacy.  RSF tracks internet prisoners of conscience and
-jailed or harmed journalists all over the world.</p>
+<li>
+<strong>Hidden services:</strong>
+When the Internet was designed by DARPA, its primary purpose was to
+be able to facilitate distributed, robust communications in case of
+local strikes.  However, some functions must be centralized, such as
+command and control sites.  It's the nature of the Internet protocols to
+reveal the geographic location of any server that is reachable online.
+Tor's hidden services capacity allows military command and
+control to be physically secure from discovery and takedown.
+</li>
 
-<li>IBB/Voice of America/Radio Free Europe/Radio Free Asia</li>
+<li>
+<strong>Intelligence gathering:</strong>
+Military personnel need to use electronic resources run and monitored
+by insurgents. Obviously, they do not want the server logs on an insurgent
+website to show a military address, revealing their surveillance.
+</li>
 
-<p>The US <a href="http://www.ibb.gov/">International Broadcasting
-Bureau</a> supports Tor development to help Internet users in countries
-where they can't get
-safe access to free media.  Tor not only protects freedom of expression,
-but preserves the ability of persons behind national firewalls or under
-the surveillance of repressive regimes to view information that gives
-a global perspective on democracy, economics, religion, and other vital
-topics to a full global perspective on culture.</p>
+</ul>
 
-<li>Reporters in sensitive locations</li>
 
-<p>Reporters in sensitive environments can use Tor to be more secure in
-filing their stories.</p>
 
-<li>sources</li>
+<h2>Journalists and their audience use Tor</h2>
 
-<p>Journalists' sources often use Tor to report sensitive information,
-or to discuss items with journalists from sensitive locations.</p>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>
+<a href="http://www.rsf.org/">Reporters without Borders</a></strong>
+tracks internet prisoners of conscience and
+jailed or harmed journalists all over the world. They advise
+journalists, sources, bloggers, and dissidents to use Tor to
+ensure their privacy and safety.

-<li>whistleblowers</li>
+<li>
+<strong>The US <a href="http://www.ibb.gov/">International Broadcasting
+Bureau</a></strong> (Voice of America/Radio Free Europe/Radio Free Asia)
+supports Tor development to help Internet users in countries without
+safe access to free media.  Tor
+preserves the ability of persons behind national firewalls or under
+the surveillance of repressive regimes to obtain
+a global perspective on controversial topics including democracy,
+economics and religion.
+</li>
 
-<p>Likewise, whistleblowers use Tor to safely leave tips on governmental
-and corporate malfeasance.
+<li>
+Although we often think of foreign journalists working in far off lands,
+<strong>citizen journalists in China and other
+<a href="http://www.rsf.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=554">Internet black holes</a>
+use Tor to write about local events</strong> and to encourage social
+change and political reform, more secure that there will not be a knock

+<h2>Law enforcement officers use Tor</h2>
+<ul>
+
+<li>
+<strong>Online surveillance:</strong>
+Tor allows officials to surf questionable web sites and services
+without leaving tell-tale tracks.  If the system administrator of an
+illegal gambling site, for example, were to see multiple connections from
+governmental or law enforcement computers in usage logs, investigations
+would be hampered.
+</strong>
+
+<li>
+<strong>Sting operations:</strong>
+Similarly, anonymity allows law officers to engage in online
+&ldquo;undercover &rdquo; operations.  Regardless of how good an
+undercover officer's &ldquo;street cred&rdquo; may be, if his or her
+email headers include nypd.nyc.ny.state.us, his or her cover is blown.
+</li>
+
+<li>
+<strong>Truly anonymous tip lines:</strong>
+While online anonymous tip lines are popular, without anonymity
+software, they are far less useful.  Sophisticated sources understand that
+although a name or email address is not attached to information, server
+logs can identify them very quickly.  As a result, tip line web sites that
+do not encourage anonymity are limiting the sources of their tips.
+</li>

 </ul>
 
-<h2>Human rights workers use Tor</h2>
 
-<p>Reporting human rights violations from within their country of origin
-is a task for peaceful warriors.  It takes courage and a good eye to risk
-mitigation.  Human rights activists use Tor to anonymously report from
-danger zones.  Internationally, labor rights workers use Tor and other
-forms of online and offline anonymity to organize workers in accordance
-with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  Are they within the law?
-But, does that mean they are safe?</p>
