The only two employees of the organization (see the budget here: http://www.givewell.net/files/ClearFund/Clear%20Fund%20Budget%20As%20Of%202007%2010%2001.xls), who just happen to pocket about 50% of the donations for their personal income, have been caught red handed taking part in a campaign of lies, attempted bribery and "astro turfing" various websites to fluff their company, which has very little to show for their highly paid salary. The wrist slapping from the puppet board members was a nice gesture but I don't think anyone who has any commitment to charity transparency can really ever take these to guys seriously. They really need to look into a new career. I'd suggest something in sales where it's acceptable to be underhanded for your own profit. I think all credibility has been lost in regard to givewell’s “transparency”.
