Deep Throat Revealed?

Is former FBI official W. Mark Felt Deep Throat? Looks that way. And I have to say I'm disappointed. There were so many more interesting possibilities ...

Updated: The MSNBC story has additional details.

Note: A few hours after I posted the original entry, above, Woodward and Bernstein (as well as the Post) confirmed that Felt was indeed DT.

More updates: The New York Times coverage, of course, is excellent. But for real in-depth coverage you have to go to the source. Today's Washington Post coverage is a must read (permanent link here). (Registration required for both--totally worth it in my opinion.)

Post staffer Hank Steuver writes what I've been thinking: "What could be more of a letdown than finding out who Deep Throat is? Finding it out in Vanity Fair?" The Post has also started a Deep Throat Revealed Blog.

And finally, you can read the Vanity Fair article here. It's also available in PDF format for a more magazine-like reading experience. I haven't had time to read it yet. I'll tell you what, though -- I'm more interested in how Vanity Fair got the story than I am about Felt himself.

Another update: Read the story behind the story -- how Vanity Fair scooped the Post on DT's identity -- in this Post story.
