John Dean was the person behind the Watergate break in and it wasn't even for purely political reasons. Many in the media know this, but it doesn't serve the proper template to report it. It's disgusting that Dean became a media darling-- but not surprising.

If you want to know the truth about Watergate, read Silent Coup, St Martin's Press, 1992.

In his book The Secret Plot to Make Ted Kennedy President: Inside the Real Watergate Conspiracy (Sentinel, 2008), Geoff Shepard makes a convincing case that Dean perpetrated the Watergate operation--and then when the operation went awry, he switched sides and worked with Nixon's enemies in order to save his skin.
