One of the biggest political mysteries of the last 30 odd years has been solved. W Mark Felt has outed himself as Deep Throat. Felt was suspected as Deep Throat by Richard Nixon himself and by film director Nora Ephron, ex-wife of Carl Bernstein.
"I never leaked information to Woodward and Bernstein or to anyone else!" Felt wrote in his 1979 book.
Here is an article in Atlantic Monthly from 1992 which speculates on Felt's involvement. It's written by James Mann who worked at the Washington Post at the time of the investigation. And here is a 1999 article at the time of the 25th anniversary of Nixon's resignation, that features a telephone interview with Felt.
Here's the article from Vanity Fair, where he makes his revelation, in PDF format.
