Guest: Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel, who was in the United States Senate at the time of Watergate
How does the Watergate Scandal compare with the Iraq War Intelligence Lies Scandal?
And how do the Pentagon Papers compare with the Downing Street Memo?
Does the British leaker of this Memo face as much risk as “Deep Throat” Mark Felt?

Enigma–sour apples from you doesn’t change a bit of history–Nixon is deposed and dead and Felt will get a hero’s recognition in his whistleblowing

While Felt might have been one of the sources of information to Woodward, it has been shown from Woodward and Bernstein’s own writings that he could not have been the only source.
I read that the name “Deep Throat” came from the movie that was playing and that one of them saw the marque (sp?) for it. Trouble is, it wasn’t possible to have seen it in DC as they stated, as it wasn’t playing.
There are holes all over the “Deep Throat” story and Felt should be sentenced, despite his incapacity.

I called John Kerry’s senate office yesterday to find out if he was going to jump in on John Conyers efforts to investigate the Downing St. matter. An aid told me he will be doing so soon.
I think he better come out strong. If he didn’t know much of their criminal deeds when he offered his gracious concession, he sure as hell should know something of it by now.
