"Deepthroat" Mark Felt- Hero or Rat?

[PornoDoggy]

Since I only had two choices, I've gotta go with hero - but he was some of both.

He was, after all, a pooh-bah in Hoover's FBI. As such, he was undoubtedly involved in activites every bit as onerous as anything the Plumbers got around to bungling, and probably was doing so long before Hunt and Liddy were wasting tax dollars in the CIA.

It was a fucked up time in American history. The CIA was illegally operating in the United States. The FBI was spying on Americans based on petitions they had signed 30 years before, had voted for a Democrat for Junior High Class Treasurer, or because they were uppity enough to think that the 14th Ammendment to the U.S. Constitution was worth a little more than than the paper it was printed on. The fucking Joint Chiefs of Staff were caught spying on the President and his National Security Adviser, when they weren't killing off 130% of the forces the Viet Cong and NVA committed to a battle. The Vice President of the United States was taking bribes in the White House like some kinda half-wit Central Casting reject for a part playing a crooked politician. Corporations were paying campaign contribution cash to have foreign governments overthrown.
