San Franciso, CA – Mark Felt, known during the Watergate era as Deep Throat, died on December 19. He left a letter in his will to be opened after his death. The letter will be published in it’s entirety shortly, but here is an excerpt:
“Kidding! I made the whole thing up. A bunch of us at the Bureau couldn’t stand Nixon, saw through his bullshit, so we faked the early tapes, the break in, everything. Nixon was shit-faced drunk most of the time, and actually thought the whole thing was his idea, even took credit for it. We fed it to Woodward and Bernstein — now there is a pair of chumps — and then it just snowballed.”
