Ummm, I'm totally confused...
Classic, further down in your link is this:

Quote:
"We had 100 percent disclosure for nonprofit spending on electioneering communications in 2004,"
explained Craig Holman, the lobbyist for the watchdog group Public Citizen.
"The FEC changed the disclosure rule in 2007 to only require disclosure for contributors
who earmark their donations for [express advocacy and issue] spending, which no one does.
Now, everyone has figured out that they don't have to disclose at all."
FEC 2007... GWB and Supreme Court collaborate and strike again.
