Felt is a hero of the Right, not the Left.

Speak for yourself. Felt took down a President, which had all kinds of fallout, including the abandonment of South Vietnam and the ensuing bloodbath that engulfed SE Asia.

Felt was a disgruntled employee who betrayed his boss. He lacked principle and courage for not reporting these alleged crimes to the appropriate authorities using accepted channels. Felt never testified before Congress against Nixon nor did he resign. He is no hero.

I disagree. I have a feeling he testified for reasons that neither you or I fully understand. If you read Pres. Reagan's pardon, Felt really did step forward to take the heat so his subordinates wouldn't have to. He is a hero of the Cold War, and nothing will change that. I suggest you consult my posting history and read the background articles on this man. It's possible that he did it simply because he was disgruntled. But I have a feeling his reasons stemmed from the War on Terror that was being prosecuted at the time. Besides, Nixon was an unprincipled sellout. He went to Red China, he buried the investigations that would have rooted-out the Commies riddled throughout the US government...I could go on and on. I think there will be many surprises as this story unfolds. And almost all of them will embarrass the Left.
