Ehrlichman ID'd Kissinger as Watergate 'Deep Throat
Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 10:30 PM by highnooner
I know. I know. It is WND. But, it is an interesting story nonetheless.
====================================

Powerful Nixon aide 'believed it very strongly,' 'was absolutely convinced'

The identity of "Deep Throat" – the mysterious source that helped Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein break open the Watergate scandal that ended Richard Nixon's presidency – has never been revealed, although it's been the object of much speculation over the past 30 years.

Now, it turns out that one of Nixon's top aides, John Ehrlichman, who spent time in prison for his role in Watergate, stated unequivocably that "Deep Throat" was none other than Henry Kissinger, who was Nixon's national security adviser from 1969 to 1973.

2. Saw on Olberman last night that the dates of Kissinger's whereabouts
on the dates of Deep Throat's meetings put him out of the running.

4. Hmm... and Kissinger is a neocon... or at least, a political antecedent
of those foul things, neocons.

5. So, why should we believe the Prussians, now?

Why would anyone trust anything Ehrichman says about Kissinger (or vis-a-versa) any more today than in '74?

Many lies will go to, and forever stay, in both graves.

8. Yes, he did
The article states further that Walter Anderson, "According to a report in "Editor and Publisher," a key publishing trade magazine, the information comes from Walter Anderson, chairman and CEO of Parade magazine and a close friend of Ehrlichman. Although Ehrlichman died in 1999, Anderson says the former top Nixon aide ID'd Kissinger as "Deep Throat" more than two decades ago in a conversation they had."
