 [[Dominic Whiteman|Whiteman's]] claim to be a mainstream liberal is slightly undermined by a section on the website entitled "Traitor's Gate". This section is named after the water entrance to the Tower of London where prisoners would be taken into the Tower past the severed heads of recently executed prisoners. The webpage includes a paragraph openly stating that the journal is engaged in a witch hunt, and offering a novel interpretation of the cold war:
-<blockquote style="background-color:ivory;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%;font-size:10pt">The Cold War was won by the side which best performed its witch hunt. Here the Westminster Journal seeks to perform a witch hunt but using 21st Century tools of evidence gathering and blatant proof. Sure we will be accused of McCarthyism. Well, someone's got to do it. Islamists who show two faces (Taqiyya) to further Islamist Totalitarian goals and Extremists who get in the way of solutions to the Struggle against Militant Islam need to be exposed. If you feel there are others who need to be added to either of these lists there is no time like the present to contact us, presenting your case backed up by waterproofed evidence. Our editorial body will review each case and - if genuine - we’ll send the guilty through Traitor’s Gate. <ref>Westminster Journal Website, [http://westminsterjournal.com/content/view/75/64/] About Traitor's Gate (accessed 7 November 2008)</ref></blockquote>
