To disparage Deep Throat is to say corrupt officials are always right - equivalent to supreme monarchs.
no it isn't. saying that Felt may not have been a saint with purely altruistic motives, doesn't equal to saying that those he opposed were flawless. that is too simplified - binary, if you will.

i believe that Felt was working towards a just and proper goal - the ouster of the dirty president and his minions. i believe that there may have been other ways of going about it without privately leaking to journalists through a secretive pseudonym, etc. in the end, we'll never really know for sure so anything we say is pure speculation.

Nixon did fall, so yay for America.
