"Deepthroat" Mark Felt- Hero or Rat?

[kath]

....or victim?

As a good friend pointed out to me - does it look like this man was in any mental capacity to have made the decision to "out" himself as Deep Throat? It's quite likely that his greedy family decided to exploit the man in his aging state and profit from making such an announcement. I heard that his daughter is already talking book deal.
