Phorm helped Co-author Home Office Paper On Phorm's Legality

From the BBC: it looks like the government has been very cosy with Phorm in drafting its public position:

In January 2008 the Home Office thanks Phorm for comments and changes to its draft paper, which show the company making deletions and changes to the document.
The Home Office official wrote to Phorm: "If we agree this, and this becomes our position do you think your clients and their prospective partners will be comforted."

Am I being terribly unjust in seeing a parallel with the drafting of the so called 'Dodgy Dossier' in the run up to Iraq?
