Didn't you notice that the ONLY things in it addressed questions that have come up in the last few days, like how they met, why they were friends, stuff like that?
And it was so poorly written, I found myself wondering if Woodward has a ghostwriter for his books.
Do you know that Woodward was working in Admiral Moorer's office during the Radford spy scandal? Did you know he was visiting the White House carrying papers back and forth. He had the highest security clearance you could have - and you honestly believe he and Ben Bradlee didn't know that he was the number 3 man at FBI and that he just may have been PO'd because Nixon gave Patrick Gray the job Felt thought he deserved?
Interesting in the extreme!
Not my take on the article at all. We must have been reading different articles. Woodward worked Felt as a possible asset in the future. Woodward knew how to plan ahead. That is my take. Woodward was friendly with Felt prior to Nixon not promoting him, and of course, prior to the break in. As to Felt's motives, that is speculation, and frankly, why is that relevant? Nixon was the one who chose to commit crimes, and to have sour grapes over its exposure, strike me as odd. As I said, yes Felt could have shut it down, prior to Nixon crossing the Rubicon, and he didn't. But then, that was not his job, and yes, maybe he was mad at Nixon. So what?
