cowpies and roadkill are excluded from this offer
more than a secret sharer

The spirit has moved me, and I'm finally posting something on the ol' infobong. David Corn and Jeff Goldberg has a great story in The Nation that reveals that former g-man Mark Felt was put in charge of finding and stopping Deep Throat, while he was plying Woodward and Bernstein with information. As you might imagine, this assignment was instrumental in keeping his role a secret. I was born after Watergate, and what I know about it is largely the stuff of popular memory, but, considering the reputed paranoia of the Nixon administration, I find it surprising they didn't have people spying on the spies.
