It isn't.  This is just a tired old horse that keeps getting trotted out by 
those who want to destroy the transparency that others have to constantly fight 
to keep.

Some people don't like the idea that what they say today, can be compared to 
what they said last year, and that this can be done by anyone with the 
persistence to dig.

Any true libel, can and is, removed as soon as it's found.  However in the 
U.S. "you can't libel garbage by saying it stinks" and opinions are not libel, 
so instead you get smoke screens like this trying to confuse the evidence.  And 
we operate under U.S. laws no matter what craziness Britain institutes :)
