More Deep Throat Articles

Here are some interesting stories regarding Deep Throat that have surfaced since I first did a write-up on Felt coming forward.

How Mark Felt Became Deep Throat By Bob Woodward on MSNBC (Washington Post). Describes how Felt instructed Woodward on how to schedule secret meetings for them and delves just a bit into Felt's motivation for leaking the story. According to this, Felt was trying to protect the FBI from the Nixon administration.

Deep Backround By Paul Farhi on MSNBC (Washington Post). Talks about how the story got to Vanity Fair and shows how Woodward was left hanging in the wind and didn't find out about the story and wasn't part of the release.

More Questions Than Answers By Keith Olbermann on MSNBC (Blog). Discusses some questions that Felt as Deep Throat raises. Good insight and seems to be leaning towards the point that maybe Felt wasn't the only Deep Throat by pointing out some inconsistances. Also notes that Woodward hasn't always been honest about all things Deep Throat.

Ok, now I know it looks like I'm pushing MSNBC...but honestly I don't usually read their material all that much. The reason I have been for this story is Woodward's involvement with the Washington Post and the fact that his stories there are appearing on MSNBC's site. You can also find them on the Washington Post website, but registration is required and I didn't feel like going through the hassle.
