I'm curious - how does someone track the IP of a twitter user? Unless they have someone "on the inside", I thought it was not possible to see where a user was interacting with twitter from? Besides, wouldn't you want to interact with the world through TOR or something like that if you were up to stuff like this?

Usually you trap them into clicking a link you control. Alternatively you hijack their account somehow and find out where they logged in from. That the address in Washington is a TOR node or any other kind of proxy is of course a very real possibility.
