They are holding up a man in front of the camera who has already forgotten just what it is he did.

If you changed the order of words to "just forgotten" then that would apply to behavior exhibited in typical Alzheimer's disease, i.e. short term memory loss, but the long term memory remains intact.

If there are no abnormalities on a MRI or CT scan of the brain, the inappropriate behavior of Felt in the nursing home also agrees with typical Alzheimer's patients, but the diagnosis can only be confirmed by autopsy. There are other causes of dementia.

I think that there was already the admission in some of the reports that he does not have recall.

Then again, Hillary "can't remember" things either and still managed to write a book about her life.

On the trail of the secret informant (Mark Felt: "Deep Throat was just an imagined thing.")

I've been waiting three years for what happened Tuesday: That W. Mark Felt would be named "Deep Throat."

Actually, he was outed as Deep Throat by relatives and an attorney who began pitching me the story in June 2002, when I was a regular contributor to People magazine.

There's little doubt that Felt is indeed the super-secret source who helped topple a president. The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Ben Bradlee confirmed as much Tuesday.

But there's one interview you won't be seeing: Felt himself. The former No. 2 man at the FBI suffered a stroke in the summer of 2000. By his family's own admissions, he suffers from dementia. You will not see Mark Felt going on camera and saying he was Deep Throat.
