just for stating the obvious, "Tor Stinks" means that tor is
_frustrating_ for the nsa, not that it has problems with anonymity.
it _does_ have small and glaring problems with anonymity, but it still
really frustrated the nsa.

tor is painful for everyone involved. painful things can raise a
stench when they go on for a long time. maybe if we didn't have tor
then spy agencies would help secure people's firmware and software a
little better.  exploits provide for far more reliable logging than
network compromises.
