91-year-old Tom Felt, a former FBI official, has revealed himself to be Deep Throat, the anonymous source to the Washington Post articles that helped bring down the presidency of Richard M. Nixon. Bob Woodward has confirmed that Felt was his informant during the Watergate days. In a town where there seem to be no secrets, it is amazing that Felt was able to shield his identity for so long. Even Nixon had thought it was him and Felt previously denied being Deep Throat.
Students at the University of Illinois got it wrong. So did Josh Marshall.
