Some wounds don't fully heal because they're too deep and cut too close to the bone. The story that Deep Throat was Mark Felt has torn open old wounds. Pat Buchanan, Robert Novak and Chuck Colson--all at the top of their game 30 years ago, all very much in the game today--were passionate in their criticism, saying Mr. Felt has little to be proud of, was unprofessional, harmed his country. Ben Stein was blunt: Mr. Felt "broke the law, broke his oath, and broke his code of ethics."

the Rabid Righties are lining up to slam the man who provided the evidence who brought down Nixon. the guy's 91 years old ffs, but that's beside the point: Nixon conducted a criminal conspiriacy from the Oval office, including obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence etc. - and Felt is the guy who exposed it. not necessarily heroic, but certainly the right thing to do.
