in The CIA Solves a Non-Existent Problem on The Technology Liberation Front
Actually, an eavesdropper could only tell that you had an SSL connection open with a certain IP address. They could certainly trace the IP to the CIA, but they couldn't tell which URLs you were looking at (the bit of the HTTP request that requests the URL is encrypted within the SSL tunnel).

So this does add a layer of 'Anonymity' that wasn't there before. Of course, the CIA can still tell what you're looking at :-)

Still, it's an odd direction for the CIA to take.
