This is exactly what anonymous remailers are legitimately used for.  

To get a list of remailers:

Send a message to skaplin @
 c2 .
 org

Subject line should read:

SEND FILE remailer_list

  NOTE:  this IS case sensitive

To get help, substitute help for remailer_list

IMHO this allows for safe dialogue from both sides of the security world
