Is there another "Deep Throat" in our country's future?

With the news that Watergate's "Deep Throat" was W. Mark Felt, many people were glad to finally recognize him as a hero. Mr. Felt risked his own life to reveal the illegal activities of Nixon and his CREEP (committee to re-elect the president). Woodward and Bernstein should also be commended for their courage and journalistic work during those dark days of Watergate.

Who will be the next "Deep Throat" in the USA? Bush and Blair lied about the reasons for the Iraq war. This administration continues to lie about the true cost of "social security reform," an economy that has not improved, a staggering unemployment rate, and the real deaths and injuries that our service members have suffered in Iraq. We can only hope that some brave soul will step forward to tell the truth about the Bush White House.
