I can talk alot about Tor, but I'll simply state that it makes great
press saying you can break Tor without any proof, or on your private,
research network.

: (someone was operating a fake Tor node and sniffing the traffic going though it)

Actually, he was operating a real tor node, he just recorded the traffic
as it exited his network.  Turns out, that wasn't such a smart move as
the Swedish federal police arrested him and confiscated all his
equipment.  No one has heard from him since.  

The real problem is people using insecure protocols on the Internet.
People at the local coffee shop get sniffed all the time, but that
doesn't make big press splashes.
