"Had he not used tor and had just signed into his email normally, they really wouldn't have needed a confession." Had he not used Tor, he would never have sent an email: he wouldn't have felt secure. "Trying to use Tor to protect you against interrogators who are convinced of your guilt and willing to torture you to death is like trying to toast your bread with a hammer." It's Tor [traffic analysis] that led integrators to him in the first place. Also, Tor is frequently advertised for use against repressive governments.

> "Had he not used Tor, he would never have sent an email: he wouldn't have felt secure." That is unknowable, certainly not certain. Plenty of people called in bomb threats before Tor was invented. Hell, he may have just pulled the fire alarm instead. > "It's Tor [traffic analysis] that led integrators to him in the first place." Tor is not safe from traffic analysis; it is pretty trivial to figure out if someone is using Tor. This is a well known limitation of Tor that must be understood by anybody using it, particularly if they are living under a repressive government. If you are using Tor with the expectation that nobody will be able to tell that you are using Tor, then you are trying to hammer bread into toast. That is simply not what the tool is for. It is certainly possible that the Tor project needs to work harder at making sure people understand this.
