Whakakīa te rerenga e whai ake nei: E kī ana hoki a McGovern i taea e te whistleblowing te whakamutu i te
2003 Te whakaekenga o Iraki, e kii ana "Ko te maha o nga taangata ka whai waahi ki te aukati i te pakanga o Iraki, mena i maia ratou ki te whakaatu i nga mea e mohio ana ratou i mua i te whakarewatanga". E rima rā noa iho i mua i te tīmatanga o te whakaeke ki Iraki, ka karanga a McGovern me ōna hoa ki te whistleblowing, ā, i kī mai, kei te whakapohehe te whakahaere a Bush i te take mo te whakaeke ki Iraki. I whakaahuatia e McGovern nga korero a te tari i te Poutu-te-rangi 15, 2003, e kii ana "Kua tunu ki tetahi tohutao, a ko te tohutao he kaupapa here nui".
