a Deep Throat would be very entertaining
I lived thru Watergate
the effect on national prestige, internal confidence, and loss of world respect was monumental

but a Deep Throat would have to counter the deep national military pride in advanced weaponry,
and the perceived (though imagined) benefits from Iraqi oil flow
however, combine such an info source with an increase in daily soldier deaths, and you have a massive political problem for the liars that lead our nation's executive branch

what a country
presidential admin is full of liars and corporate frauds
congress is full of spendthrifts, in lobbyist pockets
and supreme court influenced by nazi Rehnquist (search & seize)

crude oil in $30-31 range (i.e. no benefit)
dollar was 100 at war start, now 93 (i.e. no benefit)
Dow was 8200 at war start, now 9260 (sizeable benefit)
