Where is Today's Deep Throat? |

Where is Today's Deep Throat?
Today we learned "Deep Throat's" true identity -- W. Mark Felt, the
then Deputy Director of the FBI.
As one who was a first-hand witness to Watergate, I can only state
humbly that this man helped bring our country back from the
constitutional brink of an out-of-control White House, and the entire
nation owes him a debt of gratitude.
The lessons of Watergate are so telling and important today (see my
blog for more) that it is eerie, not to mention depressing:
----- Back then we had an aggressive press corps -- at least parts of
it -- willing to take a story and run with it, notwithstanding
blowback from the White House.
Today we have a paid government propaganda machine and a largely
compliant press, although we do have a blogosphere attempting to lead
-- or shame -- the MSM into dong the right thing.
----- Back than we had men of courage, such as Mark Felt, John Dean,
Leon Jaworski and Archibald Cox, who were willing to challenge
authority and abuses of power.
Today, when individuals such as Richard Clarke or former Secretary of
the Treasury Paul O'Neill step forward, they are subject to shame and
ridicule by the White House.
----- Back then we had a Justice Department that was willing to take
an investigation wherever it would lead.
Even before the infamous "Saturday Night Massacre," the FBI and DOJ
were aggressively pursuing leads.
Today we have a Justice Department that sees or hears no evil when it
comes to the Administration, and has operated as a willing accomplice
to torture and rendition.
----- Back than we had a Congress that was willing to hold real
hearings and conduct real oversight of official misconduct -- see Sam
Ervin and the recently deceased Peter Rodino.
Today, we have one-party rule, and all too many in Congress simply
take their marching orders from the White House, rather than stand up
for what’s right.
I am thrilled that Mark Felt came forward today to teach this
generation a thing or two about responsibility and accountability.

Where is Today's Deep Throat?
Today's Deep Throats are not anonymous:
Paul O'Neill - Former Secretayr of the Treasury
(Said Bush made it clear he wanted to attack iraq in his FIRST Cabinet
meeting after taking office)
Richard Clarke - Former Counter-terrorism boss in the NSA
(Said Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld wanted to use 9/11 to justify attacking
Iraq and that they refused to accept any report from him that didn't
connect Iraq with 9/11)
Karen Kwiatkowski - Former MiddeEast policy analyst at the Pentagon
(Explained how Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Feist set up Office of Special Plans
to pervert intelligence to support military action against Iraq)
There are others.......
We KNOW their names.
We KNOW that Bush has lied to start a war......
What we do NOT have is anything resembling an honest US Congress.
Happy to Impeach Clinton for lying about sex with an intern......but won't
do a damn thing about a President who lied to take advantage of 9/11 to
start a war of choice he had always planned on waging.
