I said (something like) this when Haystack first appeared on this
list...

Words "dissidents" and "oppressive regimes" have no place in
serious discussions among cryptographers. Once we start assigning
ethical categorizations to those that protect and those that attack
(data files, communications channels, etc.) we are watering the
garden in which the weeds like Haystack flourish.
