The greatest guessing game in the history of journalism has finally been resolved. Bob Woodward announced today their secret source from the Watergate investigations -- Deep Throat -- was, in fact, W. Mark Felt, the No:2 man at the FBI. While only 3 people -- Carl Bernstein, Bob Woodward and Ben Bradlee -- knew of the identity of the mysterious Deep Throat, speculation was rife as to who Deep Throat really was. Possible candidates included Pat Buchanan (who worked in the Nixon White House) and Henry Kissinger.

Earlier today, Bob Woodward confirmed that Mark Felt was in fact Deep Throat after Felt and his family broke his silence in a Vanity Fair story. Obviously, I could go on and on, but I'd recommend heading over to the Washington Post (the newspaper that started it all) and read their account. Or else, you could also read the story in Vanity Fair, which effectively sccoped the Washington Post on one of the biggest stories in journalism.

PS: Give Nixon his due. He had suspected at several points that Mark Felt may have been the mysterious source for Woodward and Bernstein.

PPS: If there's anyone among you who is wondering (and I really hope there are none) what this post is on about , you need to head over to IMDB or Amazon and rectify the situation. Pronto.
