I have heavily updated the attacks section on the FAQ (after adding a section 
on browsers). We more or less said that Tor provides anonymity and we don't 
on it before, which simply isn't true; Tor does not protect against advanced 
(presumably meaning global) traffic analysis, and depending on which attacks 
you take seriously doesn't protect against compromise of the majority of 
nodes either, the two examples given. Freenet provides a different kind of 
anonymity, and in some cases it is safer than Tor; in some cases Tor is 
safer. And it will improve significantly with the tunnels implementation we 
will hopefully have in 0.9.
