+Tor sees use by <a href="http://www.torproject.org/torusers.html.en">many
+important segments of the population</a>, including whistle blowers,
+journalists, Chinese dissidents skirting the Great Firewall and oppressive
+censorship, abuse victims, stalker targets, the US military, and law
+enforcement, just to name a few.  While Tor is not designed for malicious
+computer users, it is true that they can use the network for malicious ends.
+In reality however, the actual amount of <a
+href="https://www.torproject.org/faq-abuse.html">abuse</a> is quite low. This
+is largely because criminals and hackers have significantly better access to
+privacy and anonymity than do the regular users whom they prey upon. Criminals

+href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2008/08/web_fraud_20_distributing_your.html">more
+powerful networks</a> than Tor on a daily basis. Thus, in the mind of this
+operator, the social need for easily accessible censorship-resistant private,
+anonymous communication trumps the risk of bad actors, who are almost always
+more easily uncovered by traditional police work than by extensive monitoring
+and surveillance.

 In terms of applicable law, the best way to understand Tor is to consider it a
 network of routers operating as common carriers, much like the Internet
 backbone. However, unlike the Internet backbone routers, Tor routers
 explicitly do not contain identifiable routing information about the source of
-a packet.
+a packet, and no single Tor node can determine both the origin and destination
+of a given transmission.
