The TOR (The Onion Router) network was designed for just such purposes. It bounces encrypted web traffic through at least three independent servers that volunteer bandwidth to the project. None of the servers have enough information to identify both the IP address of the original computer and the final destination. Therefore, any government agency wanting to access the information would have to compromise all the machines in the link, which are dispersed over the globe. This doesn't provide perfect privacy, but it gets pretty close.
