Cut-out
From Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-out_(espionage)
In espionage parlance, a cutout is a mutually trusted intermediary or channel of communication that facilitates the exchange of information between agents. An ideal cutout doesn't know where the information comes from or where it goes. Thus, a captured cutout will be unable to reveal colleagues.
