By closing the anonymous services, you realize your missing your
chance to perform "covert action" against those in the af.mil domain,
dont you? 

Personally,I refuse to take a stand on the ethical or legal validity
of forwarding snippets of information to our own government, as I have
no idea if it invalidates the legal protections granted to anonymous
service holders, and I have mixed feelings  about the readings of
emails in times of war when it may save american lives, but is still
an intrusion into the basic human rights we claim to protect.

Someone very well may be seeking to use an anonymizer to report
information beneficial to the US armed forces, perhaps even the MI6
team that is alledegly stationed in Afganistan, on, say, the location
of Bin Laden. OTOH, someone may be attempting to use it to hide that
very same location. There is no good way to tell unless one reads and
perhaps translates the contents.
