| 2005-05-31 |
| Follow-up to earlier Rantburg report from Vanity Fair. Identity of 'Deep Throat' Source Revealed Washington Post Story-Felt confirmed as source. SANTA ROSA, Calif. - The Washington Post said Tuesday that a former FBI official, W. Mark Felt, was the confidential source known as "Deep Throat" who provided the newspaper information that led to President Nixon's impeachment and eventual resignation. The paper made its announcement on its Web site after Felt, 91 and living in California, talked to a lawyer who wrote a magazine article for Vanity Fair. "The No. 2 guy from the FBI, that was a pretty good source," said Ben Bradlee, who had been the key editor at the Post in the Watergate era. |

| #3 I have been trying to figure out how world history would have been effected if this guy had kept his mouth shut: no Gerald Ford, no Jimmy Carter--would the Iranian revolution have occurred for instance?? Did he commit any crimes (number 2 at the FBI rats out the president). Anyone care to speculate? The media treats him like a hero...is he really? |
