bernstein has said all along that DEEPTHROAT wasn't just one person. there were multple sources - you know back when reporters checked for corroboration before printing the story.
nixon was dirty. impeachment was justified. i don't think that there is any questioning the facts there. what i don't get is why anyone would think that the #2 guy at the FBI becoming an informant to a couple of journalists is a good thing. in his position the proper course of action would have been to follow the proper legal channels - investigate, grand jury, etc. at the very least - go PUBLIC with this info and then watch the vultures swarm. this just smells of an action by a man who hated Nixon (justifiably) and had information of illegal activities and when he came to the crossroads of blowing the whistle for altruistic reason vs. possible personal benefit he chose the path that could possibly enrich him. did he receive any stipends from woodward and bernstein?
nixon was a shitbag, but it seems like felt is too.
