I bet he was also the shooter on the grassy knoll.
What if he leaked some information and only thinks that he is DT? I think that it's credible that DT was an amalgam of credible leaks to the WaPo.
The author of this article misunderstood. Felt was actually speaking about his close personal relationship with J. Edgar Hoover.
Vanity Fair magazine said on May 31 2005 that Mark Felt, a former FBI official, had revealed himself to be 'Deep Throat,' the legendary source who leaked Watergate scandal secrets to the Washington Post and brought down President Richard Nixon. Unmasking the identity of 'Deep Throat,' a key source for Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, would solve one of the greatest political and journalistic mysteries of recent history.

Base one to unit one.

Hey, we got a problem here.
Base one to unit one...
MO Dean revealed at last.
Anything the democrats can do to keep Nixon and Watergate alive they will do. Clinton, by far, committed worse deeds than Watergate. The only problem is, the media won't report it. After all, don't you see, he is a democrat. Only Republicans get smeared.
I think he hired Craig Livingstone.
ahhh, but for a piece of tape.. ;-)
LOL...the best part of this is that it denies Woodward and Bernstein and the WashCompost their last big Watergate story. If the old FBI squealer makes a few bucks off this VF story, it's still better than having the Watergate slugs wring more profits out of it.
Your right, he and his family are going to look pretty foolish if they claim him to be DT, and have Woodward turn around after his death and deny it.
Is this supposed to be the AP's play on words?? "'Deep Throat' Reportedly Comes Forward"
Ewwwww....

Even better, this guy, while a snake, will cheat the Compost of their Big Story by answering questions and stating facts that will not jive with whatever further smear the Compost had planned.
The Compost was counting on "Dead Men Tell No Tales" lack of cross-examination.
Also, what's with the walkie-talkies? No earpieces? I know darn well they had Radio Shack in 1972. What a strange omission.
