>Still cracking me up with your comments. :o) Just curious, what did you think of his other books?
Re the Watergate era, there is reason to believe that when Woodward was in the Navy (circa 69 ) he was the briefer for Col Al Haig and NSC on behalf of Adm Moorer at JCS. Whole lot of folks ( including some NSC people I later met ) were pretty sure he was ONI.
He is wired in and has been for a very long time. I still don't believe Fell was Deep Throat - or at least not the deepest throat. That doesn't mean I don't believe what he writes in his his books - I just don't completely believe he can be 100% up front about all his sources.
I know I tend to scoff at a lot of conspiracy stuff, but two books that are a lot of fun and probably have some nuggets of less than commonly accepted truth are "Silent Coup" by Len Colodny and "The Yankee and Cowboy War" by Carl Oglesby (the latter very tough ot find and a whole can of New Left crazy mixed in with some cool stuff)

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
