[liberationtech] Assange's claim about Tor losing US government support due to WikiLeaks

[Evgeny Morozov]

I'd like to clarify that the only reason I mentioned Cryptome in my
original email was because they already had posted a somewhat convoluted
response from Andrew Lewman. It wasn't mean as an endorsement of Crytpome
or John Young; I was just pointing to what we already know (and don't know)
about Assange's claim. The question of "lost 600k" struck me yesterday as I
was reading the Rolling Stone piece; it was only later that I saw
Cryptome's post on the subject.
