NBC reported that Vanity Fair has released a press release naming Deep Throat...

Mark Felt, second in command at the FBI at the time.

All of this remains, of course, unconfirmed.

Wow.

Google news sources haven't gotten it yet.

[gsh]

I had thought it might have been Rheinquist.

Having recently seen your sex euphemism post and now this...

Does it seem funnily coincidental at all that Deep Throat is Felt? ;-)

There was a some speculation recently that Rhenquist was Deep Throat. Slate Magazine columnist Timothy Noah writes every so often about the id of Deep Throat. He discounted the Rhenquiest rumor here:http://www.slate.com/id/2113517 and named Mark Felts as one of the two men he felt likely to be Deep Throat. I wonder why Felts wants to come forward now?

But more troubling is the press conference that preceeded the announcement you scooped. Regarding Amnesty International's report about abuses at Guatanamo Bush said, “It’s absurd. It’s an absurd allegation. The United States is a country that promotes freedom around the world.”

According TO MSNBC he said the Amnesty allegations were based on interviews with detainees, who hated America and were trained to lie.

That's a follow on to Cheney on Larry King, “Frankly, I was offended by it. For Amnesty International to suggest that somehow the United States is a violator of human rights, I frankly just don’t take them seriously.”

Now I wouldn't put it past Amnesty to overstate their case. And I'm sure the administration isn't gonna just own up to everything. But at least address the allegations. But to say it didn't happen because it couldn't happen? Absurd.

And frightening.

It certainly is conveniently timed for Bush.
