In the comments section of Tragic Demise, I go on and on about the unveiling of "Deep Throat," or at least the main source for Woodward and Bernstein's investigation into the Watergate break-in.

Matt suggested I do a post, but it's Friday and I'm tired. Read the comments and let me know if you're interested in more. Also, this site provides a good summary of Watergate, including a PDF of the Vanity Fair article on Mark Felt.

The site also contains a link to the Washington Post article where Carl Bernstein downplays Felt's role in breaking the story. Instead, he says Felt mostly confirmed information he and Woodward dug up. (Registration required. Boooo to the Post.)

Ouch, the pain of not receiving your due credit, eh, Carl? Life in the shadows can be lonely.
