Maximum transparency?

Last week Gordon Brown promised that under the new system, MPs expenses would be released under "maximum transparency".

Yesterday Harriet Harman said that "only the barest minimum” of information would be redacted from the next set of expenses. I believe this was to include telephone numbers and credit card bills as examples of data which should continue to be withheld.

Today the truth seems to be that addresses of properties will also be redacted so "flipping" and other address based fraudulent activity will be hidden from the electorate.

Would Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman even recognise the truth if it got up and said "Hello, I'm the truth"?
