Deep Throat? Well we know it was not Monica Lewinsky. Does anyone want to venture a guess? Did those clowns make it up? Henry Kissenger? Al Haig? I know these are lousy guesses, but i'm just reaching.

Earth to Dean: Nobody gives a $h!t about your moldy 30-year-old conspiracy drivel, or who "Deep Throat" is. Go crawl in a hole and die.

John Dean doesn't know who "Deep Throat" is. He is only guessing. Woodward & Bernstein know but have promised they will not reveal the name until he/she is dead.

"John Dean... Salon.com... Oliver Stone and Arianna Huffington" Hmmm... this suggests one of those 'logic tests':
"You want to know if a bridge is safe.
There are four people at the bridge who you can ask.
The first one always lies, the second one always lies, the third one always lies and the fourth one always lies.
They all tell you the bridge is safe..."

Dean might not have been specifically identified by the "posties" as "Deep Throat", but several things Dean did were referenced in "Deep Throat" stories.
Dean used the parking garage at Arlington Towers to meet with a Washington Post reporter several times. We know which garage it was for two reasons - 1. The "posties" gave us an exact description of the garage, and 2. Dean was seen in the garage.
There's more.

I notice Whack-Job John didn't have the guts to invite his old friend G. Gordon Liddy.

There was only one individual who fits all of the following criteria: (i) He knew in advance, unlike all of those excepting the burglars themselves, when the Watergate break-in would occur, (ii) He shredded vital documents pertaining to 'Watergate', (iii) He knew more than H.R. Haldeman or anyone else in the White House about the activities of Liddy and his superiors in the White House, (iv) He was indicted by the Sirica court, (v) His was the only Watergate testimony that was not heard in open court, but only in camera, (vi) He was the only one indicted by the Sirica court who never served one second of jail time, (vii) He fits all of the criteria attributed to 'Deep Throat' by Woodward & Bernstein, including the only physical characteristic that was attributed to Deep Throat in anything W & B wrote about him: his lower jaw quivers when he is under stress, something that was plainly visible when he appeared on TV during the Watergate hearings.

Breaking news. It was
Al Haig!
When he worked in the basement of the White House years before, a young man from Naval intelligence was the liaison. The Navy chap was Bob Woodward, Yale spook. It makes sense that Al fed stuff to Bob years later. Who benefited? Nixon left. Al was head of staff and a big honcho until his sweaty "I'm in charge" speech when Reagan was shot.

There is only one individual who, based on information that has been known to the public for the past 27 years, conforms with the following criteria: (i) He knew, in advance, unlike all excepting the Watergate burglars themselves, when the Watergate break-in would occur, (ii) He shredded more vital documents pertaining to 'Watergate' than any other single individual, (iii) He knew more than anyone else in the White House about the activities of Liddy and his cohorts, including all of Liddy's 'controlling authorities' and associates in the White House, (iv) He was duly indicted by the Sirica court but his was the only Watergate testimony that was not heard in open court, only in camera, (v) He was the only one indicted by the Sirica court who never served one second of jail time, (vi) He fits all of the criteria attributed to 'Deep Throat' by Woodward & Bernstein, including the only physical characteristic attributed to Deep Throat in anything W & B wrote about him: his lower jaw quivers when he is under stress, something that was plainly visible when he appeared on TV during the Watergate hearings, (vii) In spite of all of these qualifications, he has never been suspected by any in the Nixon administration because he has been seen as a 'loyal soldier', someone whose views were more conservative than most others around Nixon. Noting that many conservative Republicans despise(d) Nixon even more than the most ardent McGovernites, then and now, this has always seemed to me to be a dubious reason for thinking he could not have been Deep Throat.
What mitigating circumstance could have led the Sirica court to grant such unique leniency to an individual who had foreknowledge that the crime was to be committed, and afterward, had shredded key evidence of the crime ? Before identifying him, I'll wait a respectful time for others to venture to provide his name, and also invite others to weigh-in on the subject of whether or not anyone who uniquely satisfies these criteria is as likely to be 'Deep Throat' as any candidate that John Dean might have in mind. One clue: he is not older, if as old as W & B themselves, suggesting that the 'death watch' usually placed on the identification of 'Deep Throat' might be much longer than is generally assumed. Of course, if I'm wrong, I'll apologize.

Someone in the press should ask Heidi Fleiss what she thinks of all this business.
To: Temple Owl
There is no "Deep Throat." There never was. It is all a bunch of this:
I think at best it was a made up character of several people--most of them dubious. Woodward is a proven liar who always believed he was living in a spy novel (see CONTRA, IRAN).
Go rent "All the Presidents Men" again--but take some medication before hand so you won't be sick. Watch that Hollyweird scene of the reporters waiting for the "PHONE CALL" back to confirm their "source." Filled with faux tension--it serves as a symbol of these people's arrogance and self-importance. They tried to communicate how they wouldn't "Go With" a story unless it was true and confirmed.
Bovine Scatology!
Reporters are some of the most unethical people in the world.

Anyone who thinks John Dean has any credibility should pick up a copy of
Silent Coup, the most intriguing look at the Watergate scandal ever written.
Dean is certainly dirty, and very likely was the organizer of the Watergate breakins for his own purposes. The amazing irony is that Dean was selected by Nixon to investigate Watergate, and from that perch Dean was able manipulate events to hide his own deeds and implicate Nixon. Even G Gordon Liddy has been persuaded by the conclusions of the Silent Coup authors, and says he thought he went to prison protecting Nixon, when in fact his silence protected John Dean.
