Deep Throat Comes Out Of The Closet

A former FBI official claims he was “Deep Throat,” the long-anonymous source who leaked secrets about President Nixon’s Watergate cover-up to The Washington Post, Vanity Fair reported Tuesday. We've been waiting thirty years for this one.

W. Mark Felt, now 91, second-banana at the FBI in the early 1970s, kept the secret from his family until 2002, when he admitted to a friend that he had been Post reporter Bob Woodward’s source, the magazine said.

Woodward and Bernstein are sticking to their guns--they will not disclose Deep Throat's identity while he is still alive. "We've said all along that when the source known as Deep Throat dies, we will reveal his identity and explain at great length all of our dealings with that individual and context of that relationship," Mr. Bernstein said.

It looks like this is the real deal. I always thought it was probably Alexander Haig (Chief of Staff) or Patrick Buchanan (speechwriter). Click on the title to link to an article on the Deep Throat revelation.
