I think there are many Americans who will believe he is a hero. I think we know the most important fact and that is who was Deep Throat, and that's been very helpful, and there's no question, to go to Mike Putzel's point, that Deep Throat was extraordinarily important, not just to corroborating but also to giving tips and guides to Bob Woodward in particular that did help with him his reporting and that reporting of course was a critical part of the whole Watergate saga. I don't think we yet know all the facts on this. This man was participating on the rough side of the FBI, and I think that to this day we don't know whether there were those in the FBI who may have had reasons to want to bring down the president or bring down the White House. But it's worth remembering that he was also pardoned by Ronald Reagan in 1981 for his participation in burglaries by the FBI against the Weathermen and others. And he may well have been a force for right and good. He may well have been doing this out of conscience. Mark Felt is a more complex man than he may seem on the surface. O'Connor has printed about why he did it, I'm not sure that we have all the facts yet. As much as I want to believe the story that Mr. I think that while we've unraveled the great mystery, it does open some additional doors. O'Connor deserves credit for having brought this to light and finally unraveling it. It certainly helps us unravel that one of the greatest mysteries that we've had in our political life over the last 30 years.
