For what it's worth, as a former employee of EFF, and as friend of both 
the people there and the guys who work on Tor (Nick Matthewson and Roger 
Dingledine), who are *not* and have never been EFF employees, this isn't 
an EFF thing.
EFF funded development of Tor for about a calendar year, and still hosts 
the website. Contact Nick <nickm () alum mit edu> and/or Roger 
<arma () freehaven net> with bugs and fixes. And for all things related to 
dollars.
