Redford says he linked Deep Throat to FBI

Associated Press


SALT LAKE CITY - Robert Redford, who played Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward in "All the President's Men," said he used to speculate on who Deep Throat was and had figured "it probably had to do with the FBI."

Redford said the revelation that former Deputy FBI Director Mark Felt was Deep Throat, the Post's secret informant in the Watergate scandal, has him "waiting to see if anybody is going to connect where we were then and where we are now, because the same elements are absolutely in place, only they're worse. ...

"You can go right down the line (in the Bush administration), there's about 15 issues as strong or as big as the Watergate break-in was that have come and died out," Redford said Thursday in an interview with The Salt Lake Tribune.

He cited the fruitless search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and the "Downing Street memo" suggesting Bush's officials tweaked intelligence to support their invasion plans.
