So Mark Felt was Deep Throat. Very interesting. Not least because, just six years ago, Felt said “I’m not guilty of disclosure, leaking it to the press, or anything like that” and denied his Throaty status. In 1979 he wrote that he had “never leaked information to Woodward and Bernstein or to anyone else.” Liar, liar, pants on fire!

Update: Here’s the Vanity Fair story. Also, these guys probably feel reeeeeeally stupid today.
