4. What is WHIG?

[existentialist]

5. WHIG

Just guessing: White House Intelligence Group ??? but some one will tell us.

It certainly does not mean what it meant historically, which is the party opposed to the Tories that sought to limit the power of the monarchy in Britain, and became the source of the name of the Whig party in U.S. history, so called because they sought to limit the power of the President ("King Andrew" Jackson) in United States history.

6. Close, but not quite...

it's the White House http://www.pacificviews.org/weblog/archives/001267.html">Iraq Group.

FWIW, the US Whig party was the forerunner to the Republican Party.

9. Wow!

Libby and Rove were both in WHIG and both were involved in the Plame leak. Guys this was either cordinated or one heck of a coincidence.

Days after Wilson's NYT oped these guys were talking to reporters about his wife and disclosing her CIA status.

8. Where has Poppy Bush been these days?

As a former CIA director one wonders why he hasn't been tapped for his opinion.

10. Scooter or Mary Matelin. n/t
