I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't take too long before Wikileaks became a very interesting target to the US gov't and her allies. I don't think Tor operators will get too much flak in terms of personality or MO, but this exposure may cause disruptions to the project.
Tor has been in LEA (FBI++) sights for a long time now - just as the remailer system was under heavy scrutiny before it. I have zero doubt that the fedz run many nodes. //Alif -- "Never belong to any party, always oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty."
