While it's understandable that people want to avoid being swept up in hysterical backlashes against people involved in this morning's terrorist activity, it's worth remembering - especially for people interested in aiding law enforcement - that a lot of investigations begin and move forward with anonymous tips which are later corroborated by witnesses willing to testify. Given the clear indifference for human life shown by the terrorists, the ordinary witness-protection steps taken by law enforcement may not be comforting enough to allow aiders and abettors of this morning's actions to report their knowledge with confidence - so it may be more important than ever that the remailers continue to operate.
I agree, and I'm a "wuss ninnie," according to many. They are broadcasting the hotlines/website: http://www.ifcc.fbi.gov (slashdotted, on my end). They want everything. ...Could the remops collaborate in some fashion so as to offer collection assistance? ...Could you set up a working group to assist with these situations in the future? ...Could you build something to facilitate anonymous reporting? I'm brown-nosing Steele again, but terrorism seems to support a Whitehat Blacknet (what I called an OSINT Intellagora). Isn't this a perfect example? I think a working group on something like this would put crypto in a positive light. ~Aimee
