If Felt is so proud of what he did, why did he hide all these years?

If Felt were mentally sound, how would he feel about this story?

Who cares?

Still, there's something sad and tawdry about the way this story has come to light—something that makes me wish that I'd had to wait a few more years to find out who Deep Throat really is."

It is strangely anticlimactic and vaguely disappointing.

felt was wrong to go to wash post to begin with. he should have stayed within the law to break this up. go to grand jury or something. it stinks when we get these sources running in newspapers and high level public jobs not doing what they are paid to do.

Credible sources say that Felt suffers from Alzheimers and cannot be held responsible for what he says.

One point that ought not to be forgotten is that the US Code requires federal employees to blow the whistle when a crime is committed by their fellow employees.

Burglary is a crime, and so is obstructing justice.
