Deep Throat - and I Don't Mean the Movie

I was just wondering the other day when Deep Throat - the inside source to Woodward and Berstein during the Watergate scandal - would be revealed. It will be interesting to see where the revised histories end up after studying Mr. Felt's involvement in more detail and tracing the trails around him. It would be unfortunate, though, if the inevitable search for feet of clay were to overshadow the moral courage Mr. Felt showed in coming forward with the information that led to Nixon's resignation.

Yes, he's a real hero. A felony-committing, borderline traitorous hero. I hope he rots in hell.

I don't think he was a hero. I do think he was courageous. I also think that, given that the Nixon administration was obstructing justice, stalling investigations and so on that someone had to come forwards.

It's just a shame that Clinton didn't have a deep throat - wait, that's not quite what I meant, umm....
