So it wasn't George Bush Snr...

The world's best-known anonymous source unmasks himself.

So is 'Deep Throat' a criminal or a hero? Depends where you stand. To Nixon and other governement officials, he violated his duties of office by violating confidentiality agreements. And in a Catch-22, he spoke to a journalist rather than a DA. Damned if he did, damned if he didn't. But wait, they (Nixon & Co.) were the criminals in the first place.

But to the rest of us, and journalists especially, Deep Throat is most certainly a hero. He sought the truth, facilitated transparency in government and put his own job on the line to do so. I'm glad he can rest happy knowing he did a good thing. Too bad he had to wait until 2005 at age 91 to get that peace.
