Wired has a nice story on a crypto party organized by Edward Snowden shortly before he leaked the NSA documents. He used the same e-mail address to organize this crypto party that he used to contact Glenn Greenwald for the first time, which happened to be 11 days prior to the party. He had even been running Tor exit nodes at the time.
A crypto party is an open, free, and public tutorial on the use of cryptographic technologies, such as Tor, GPG, TrueCrypt, Tails, and others. It looks like a brilliant and practical way to overcome the learning curve of good security.

Thanks all! It's about what I figured it would be... But very informative to find out some of the reasons why. I wonder how many out there, using Tor, are giving away their identities in other ways but still think they're secure.
Me, I've given up on anonymity. I don't do anything anyway that anyone would be interested in. However, I think there needs to be a way to accomplish anonymity for those that truly need it. Why they need it is a judgement call I can't make, depends on the circumstances. But I'm sure there are cases where it is called for and would be morally acceptable, to me, IMO.
