>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)

There's far too much really bad stuff happening out there to worry about most conspiracy theories....plus, the last thing you want to be is someone who knows about them....(and anyone knows you know). :o) Sometimes, Where ignorance is bliss, / ‘Tis folly to be wise.’” Thomas Gray knew what he was writing.
