Dominic Whiteman

Dominic Whiteman is an internet security expert and writer, working in the United Kingdom.^[1][2][3][4] He is the director and spokesman for the VIGIL network, a privately financed counter-terrorism think-tank. As well as the Editor of the Westminster Journal.^[5]

Whiteman reports that he has prepared documents for leading UK politicians.^[3]

Whiteman and another VIGIL member appeared on the BBC in November 2006, where he spoke about a group named Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain.^[6] Whiteman was then criticised by Dr. Imran Waheed who published an open letter to the Director of the BBC, challenging VIGIL's credibility, transparency and independence. As of yet, neither Whiteman or VIGIL have been able to substantiate their claims against Hizb ut Tahrir.
