In the last 48 hours a few voices have been raised criticizing Mark Felt, former #2 man at the FBI, for his actions during the Watergate period which earned him the sobriquet "Deep Throat". The criticisms, from those who should know better, say Felt should not have gone to a reporter but to his seniors. His immediate boss, Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray, was throwing evidence off the bridge and into the Potomac, the Attorney General approved the breakins, the White House counsel was in on the coverups, the President was involved up to his ears, Congressional committees were not formed and investigating. Who the hell was Felt supposed to turn to?
