Excellent. I waived on Parkinson whose participation seemed slight by comparison with Gordon Strachan, whose actions, as H.R. Haldeman's assistant, seemed inescapably culpable. Whether or not Strachan conforms to the characteristics pointed out by ijcr in post #46 I don't know, but then again, I don't know where these characteristics that are attributed to 'Deep Throat' at the Post website, were previously scribed by Woodward -- if indeed they ever appeared outside of the Post website. The only quote I can ever recall having been attributed to Strachan was, in effect: "Liddy is a Nazi, but he's our Nazi."

I have always thought it was Dean, he could have pleaded the fifth,however, he gave evidence for 5 days.
