This page has POV problems. Referring to these folks as the "marketing arm" responsible for "selling" the Iraq War. This makes the WHIG sound as though they are a bunch of shoe salesmen or partisian hacks. It would be better to say the WHIG was responsible for stating the case for the war or coordinating the White House message, etc.( Jball65 ( talk) 21:57, 15 September 2008 (UTC))
It cannot be concluded that Plame was an undercover covert agent when Novak named her in his column. On March 23, 2005, every major news organization, including the
New York Times, the
Washington Post,
ABC,
NBC,
CBS,
CNN,
AP,
Newsweek,
Reuters, and the White House correspondents, joined to file a friend of the court brief on behalf of Judith Miller and Matthew Cooper.
They said:
October 28, 2005, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was asked if Plame was covert and he responded:

This article sets off the old POV alarm. The "marketing arm" of the Republican Party? Let's try to be neutral. Isopropyl 01:53, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
I removed the "undercover" part of the CIA/Plame investigation.
As for the reference to the White House Iraq Group being the "marketing arm" of the White House, it was the Bush Administration's own Chief of Staff, Andrew Card, who is credited with coining this term. In an interview with the New York Times, Andrew Card did not mention the WHIG specifically but hinted at its mission. When asked about selling the war to the public, Card said "From a marketing point of view, you don't introduce new products in August." Card was part of the WHIG. Marketing the war was exactly what they did. So why not call a spade a spade?
Hello, I changed the invasion of Iraq date to March 19, 2003 from March 20, 2003 and provided a link. Thanks! Sowsearsoup 13:34, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Hey, this is direct from an interview with Karl Rove on 3/9/08 at the University of Iowa. In response to a question about his participation in the WHIG's activities, he claimed that the WHIG did not come into existence until after the war had begun, which conflicts with claims that it was formed in August 2002, and that he was not its chairman.
Is there evidence to substantiate either these claims or the claims of the current Wiki entry sources?
I'll link to the transcript/recording of this session when it's over. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gmonkeylouie ( talk • contribs) 23:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Not only is there obvious bias in this page, I really question the sources. Some statements are not referenced at all, and the references listed are almost entirely newspapers and periodicals. I feel that these type of references are not sufficient for this type of page. The only other references are books, but their titles give them away as being extremely biased. Someone needs to go through this page and cite stronger sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris Nahrgang ( talk • contribs) 02:03, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
I have good faith and belief that the article does not yet contain reliable sources, and it is also loaded with some accusations about the U.S. government that, while not un-provable, require better explanation and reasoning to ensure fairness.
Hope nobody flags me as a man in black for this! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:80CC:AFB0:DD42:9F31:82BD:CB35 ( talk) 00:14, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
