1. Except that the spin is already happening to discourage that -
Morning talk shows have conservatives calling the guy names and saying he is an embarrassement to govt organizations and that secrets are to be kept secrets no matter what!!

UNBELIEVABLE!

Pat Roberts was the first one I saw saying it.

2. What do you expect?
Nixon was the one that got away. Conservatives are supposed to be morally superior to Democrats and here's this guy who's clearly not, and who is letting it all hang out (so to speak).

3. He's Sending A Message...Do We EVER Need A New Deep Throat
From one who sat riveted watching and listening to the entire Watergate fiasco, now a bunch of pieces really fall into place. Many of us thought the FBI had to be the source as they were in on the investigation from the outset...and it was this organization (just like 9/11) that was sat on to "stonewall" the investigation. Remember, it wasn't the break-in that got Nixon, it was the cover-up and it was the FBI that Nixon was trying to cover-up.

I suspect the man has come out at this time for a reason. Looking at this regime and it's ham-handling of both the FBI and CIA that has been going on in recent years. This regime ruthlessly goes after anyone who crosses it, and a contemporary Mark Felt would have to be far more intrepid...he/she couldn't depend on a media that would see the gravity of the story but would work against it.

4. Yes, he's come out at this time because he's telling Deep Throat, Jr
that this country needs him NOW to do his duty, so Bush is forced to resign or go to jail.

5. more than a Deep Throat, we need another Woodstein . . .
and another Ben Bradlee . . . whatever happened to investigative reporting in this country? . . . when was it replaced by reading through administration press releases? . . .
