There's no reason you couldn't. WASTE uses TCP, but it already makes use of public key cryptography so whether the traffic is anonymous or not, it can't easily be spied upon.
I'm not sure whether WASTE has an option for using a socks proxy.
Take note of the following from the documentation :

You might want to use Tor with an application that doesn't support socks directly. In this case, you should look at using tsocks to dynamically replace the system calls in your program to route through Tor. If you want to use socks4a, consider using socat (specific instructions are on this hidden service url).

It might be a bit overkill but if you're really paranoid you could give tor a whirl.
It's an interesting project in that the proxies are connected like a second-generation decentralised p2p network, rather than in the typical client-server fashion.
If you're new to WASTE though, try it out first until you're comfortable enough to use tor in conjunction with it.
