Deep Throat is dying by The_Thief on 03-03-2005 at 04:49 PM

A former White House counsel says the anonymous Deep Throat source who helped drive President Nixon from office is about to be identified.

John Dean, in a recent Los Angeles Times article, said the government source who gave crucial information to the Washington Post reporters whose disclosures eventually forced Nixon to resign in 1974 is gravely ill.

Those reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, vowed to protect Deep Throat's identity until that person's death.

Bob Woodward, a reporter on the team that covered the Watergate story, has advised his executive editor at the Washington Post that "Throat is ill," Dean wrote. And Ben Bradlee, former executive editor of the Post and one of the few people to whom Woodward confided his source's identity, has publicly acknowledged that he has written Throat's obituary.

If Deep Throat's illness is terminal, one of the most enduring mysteries in U.S. journalism will shortly be solved.

"We'll all know one day very soon," Dean wrote

Not a good idea, doesn't this endanger his family if some nut finds decides that Nixon was wrongly fired. There are very few people who would be in favour of Watergate, I know, but there are many extremists...
and I know who it was, Forest Gump :refuck:

Those are two separate things, so I doubt it. Lee Harvey Oswald, and whatever (if any) organisation he worked for is most likely behind it...I seem to think that Lee Harvey Oswald seems the most likely guy to have done it

If you don't know basically there was a scandal called Watergate and woodward and bernstein broke it wide open with the source of Deep Throat who implicated Nixon and nixon resigned.  It was all about documents and breaking and entering kind of sort of.

RE: Deep Throat is dying by siebe on 03-03-2005 at 07:24 PM

Or you didn't pay attention in history :P

We covered the watergate scandal quite thouroughly in history, but I must admit I remember little of it all. Oh well, thats highschool for ya ;-)

On another note, I think the JFK murder and Watergate scandal are completely unrelated.

You think so?.  It's a conspirisy I tell you.  Just kidding

They probably are.
Lee Harvey Oswald was proven to be acting alone, as well as being the only person to have been able to snipe JFK. I saw a program on UKHorizons or Discovery or one of those high-ranking docu-channels.

As for Watergate, I know very little about it.
