Hi, Ron.  This discussion comes up every few months or so, and
generates more heat than light.  See my posts to or-talk around 15
May 2006,  in particular

   http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/May-2006/msg00196.html
and
   http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/May-2006/msg00199.html

Short version: If I knew how to build a version of Tor that could be
used only for Good and never for Evil, I surely would.  But I have no
idea how to do that well, and I don't think anybody else does either.
(There are proposed solutions to do that.  They are bad.)
