“Bush to Learn more of Deep Throat” – Yahoo News
Practice makes perfect bushie!
Notable comments from the above story:
“By leaking details of the FBI’s probe into Watergate, he violated the bureau’s standards and arguably the law. Yet in retrospect it is clear that his decision was the right one,” said The Washington Post.
“Had Felt remained quiet, Nixon might have succeeded in one of the most serious abuses of power ever attempted by an American president,” the Post said.
Referring to current discussions among US officials about the drawbacks of anonymous sources used by the press, the Post said: “It’s worth remembering that this landmark victory for the rule of law also depended on the secret patriotism of a source named Deep Throat — that is, Mark Felt.
My comment: Before Mainstream Media decides to completely abandon the use of anonymous sources, the US and all governments have to agree to play by the same rules. And we all know this isn’t happening… ever… There is so much we would not know if we relied only on named officials and the Watergate leek is a clear example validating the use of anonymous sources for reporting on current events, issues and social hazzards that effect our lives.
