Fraud v. not being open

LabourList has an article up accusing Guido Fawkes of not being entirely open in his dealings with the Centre for Open Politics:

"He is also, in fact, rather hands on, answering the phone himself today to several journalists. While admitting he is behind the group if asked Guido doesn't make it clear even on his own blog (see right). Come on now Paul, I thought you were in favour of transparency..."

So, Guido doesn't make it clear on one blogpost but does confirm if asked that he is linked to the Centre for Opek Politics and answers the phone on the behalf of the Centre for Open Politics. Maybe he isn't being entirely open, but - let's be honest - he's not exactly hiding the fact either.

Besides, Draper's real gripe is not about Guido, it is about Guido/Centre for Open Politics going after Jacqui Smith. Draper writes:

"...the so-called independent "Centre for Open Politics" which is trying to stir up trouble for Jacqui Smith is none other than a front organisation for.... Paul Staines, aka Guido Fawkes."

Except, just to remind everyone, Smith is being accused of a pretty serious fraud against the taxpayer - the very same taxpayer that Draper was *defending* just last week. Besides, which is worse - Smith defrauding the taxpayer, or Guido not stating in a post his links to the Centre for Open Politics? Only a devout Nu Labour drone could ever argue it is the latter rather than the former...

If there isn't already, then there should be a LabourList Watch style website up*. Just to highlight some of the worst excesses of the increasingly shrill and demented world of Derek Draper et al.

*I'm sure there would be no shortage of volunteers to write for it.
