From what is going on in today's political environment and with some of the same players around in this administration, I thought it might be interesting to revisit Watergate. Today UT's Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center which purchased material written by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, are releasing some of the documents to the public. At one time I could recite all the `players' in the scandal and tell you what their role was, memories have faded but not the interest. Woodward responded to a question about Deep Throat, "When you know who it is, when that story's told, your reaction will be, `Now I understand' (why the person wants anonymity)".
And now since the Kos bloggers have done such a good job in `investigative reporting' (Jeff Gannon and Safiija al Soheil, the woman in the SOTU audience) how good can you be at ferreting out Deep Throat? It has been said that the person's identity won't be revealed until that person is dead. My question is first, is there really such a person and second, who do you think it is and why?
