Haystack and Tor do different stuff.
Tor conceals your origin from the endpoint (web server etc).
Haystack conceals the fact you are communicating and about what, from a man in the middle, by pretending to be innocuous web requests.

Tor anonymizes the origin of your traffic, and it encrypts everything between you and the Tor network and everything inside the Tor network, but it can't encrypt your traffic between the Tor network and its final destination. If you are communicating sensitive information, you should use as much care as you would on the normal scary Internet — use HTTPS or other end-to-end encryption and authentication. http://www.torproject.org/download.html.en#Warning http://www.torproject.org/download.html.en#Warning
