Legendary Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward in a passage from "All the President's Men" about now-revealed "Deep Throat" Mark Felt:
From the book: Woodward "arrived at the garage at 1:30 a.m.
"Deep Throat was already there, smoking a cigarette. . . .
"On evenings such as these, Deep Throat had talked about how politics had infiltrated every corner of government -- a strong-arm takeover of the agencies by the Nixon White House. . . . He had once called it the 'switchblade mentality' -- and had referred to the willingness of the president's men to fight dirty and for keeps. . . .
It's a shame that Woodward has become such a sycophant for the 1600 Crew that he can't see himself reflected in the mirror of history. Penning Paeans to Preznit Fortunate Embryo has become his forte. What happened, Bob? We hardly knew ye...

Agreed- he carried water for the current war and used his privilige.
John Dean says otherwise as well, the guy was doing more than he's been charged with/pardoned of to have confirmed what he did.
Someone inside-Buchanon. Someone who saw the paperwork as a speechwriter he was always around.
Anyways the guy was from Cali- chances he knows the Reagan crew well from the pardon? Who did he help out from California?
Standard oil of Cali, SOCAL which helped Standard New Jersey overseas. Plus SOCAL was a big push behind ARAMCO the arab-american oil company.
Cheney, Plame, his daughter in Near East affairs, her husband's legal dealings with oil concessions or other legal Executive functions as a staffer, and the Niger document insertion coupled with CHeney's Nigerian bribery scandal.
Three levels deep or more in the White House. Lawyer up. Gag-gle time tommorrow!
