What I cannot understand is why W's Administration is not moving to prosecute Felt or those, most prominently Woodward, Bernstein and Bradley, who obstructed justice by protecting a 2IC at the FBI who broke the law

Who knows. But one can't help but wonder if it could be for the same reasons Nixon didn't. The man had access to a lot of info/files. Or as Nixon said, "everything". I don't quite know what the scope of that statement meant. One can only wonder.

It means Dick knew that Felt had photos of him behind the grassy knoll.

You make an excellent point. On page 188 of Felt's The FBI Pyramid, he may have been making just such a veiled threat to any who would mess-with-Mark, when he quotes Miss Gandy as having said, at the time of Hoover's death, that "all Bureau files should be sent to Mr. Felt." Even so, I think much too little is being said about the culpability of Woodward, who has legal training, but claims, absurdly, that Felt didn't do anything that was illegal. I have not yet heard anyone ask Woodward if he could be charged with obstructing justice for protecting Felt's identity. Assuming others did not know, for certain, that Felt was Deep Throat, only Woodward could have known that Deep Throat was indeed guilty of numerous federal offences. I noticed on 'Larry King Live' last night that Woodward pressed the point that Felt had not revealed information from Grand Jury testimony, but he may be on 'thin ice' about this if some vigorous young federal prosecutors, with a Woodward-like zeal to make a name for themselves, took a close look at all that Woodward sourced to Deep Throat. Maybe in Woodward's visit to the White House, 'W' let him know that there are federal prosecutors who want to pursue him.
