I haven't gotten to that point. I've watched up to Drum Island and skimmed the stuff I've downloaded up through part of Sky Island. But I can't say I'm surprised to hear it.
The question isn't whether Doug will side with the WG in the end, it's a question of how long would it take him to realize their true nature. I'm sure they don't advertize their activities of this sort, and on the surface, they look like the sort of organization used to work for and probably remembers fondly. If it reminds him of home, and he is sufficiently homesick, then he might see what he expects and wants to see in a way that would blind him to the stuff underneath for longer than might be the case otherwise.
Then again, Doug has a suspicuous mind.
The other question is whether or not he would have the information needed to identify the Straw Hats as the good guys in this mess, rather than just another buch of pirates.

No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.
