in search of deep throat
Tuesday, May 31st, 2005 by adminI have a book on my bookshelf at home called in search of deep throat. It looks like I may be able to skip right to the final chapter now.
This is the most interesting quote in the article:
“I don’t think (being Deep Throat) was anything to be proud of,” Felt indicated to his son,
It’s interesting to see that he comes from such a strong “no-snitching” point of view that he now feels guilty for what he did. I am of the opinion (as I believe are most people, including, apparently, his family), that he did the right thing. The president was committing a crime and there were very few people who had detailed knowledge of it. As an FBI agent he had taken an oath to defend the constitution of the United states from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Although he may have betrayed the president’s trust, it is clear that Nixon was not, at that time, deserving of such trust. Mr. Felt was doing nothing more than his sworn duty as an agent of the United States to defend the country.
