Holy Crap. After years of trying to find out this guy, they finally succeeded. Amazing. The mystery is over.
Yeah, he wasn't proven to be Deep Throat. And him claiming himself as DT isn't exactly a reliable source, but at least it's leading somewhere towards finding out who Deep Throat really is.
Uhm, the two main writers that broke the story of Watergate confirmed that Felt is Deep Throat. I think they'd know, since they received information directly from him.
Woodward & The Washington Post have said before in the past that he's of old age now, and in failing health, and both of those can be atributed to Felt. They weren't going to expose him until he passed away, but I guess Felt wanted to come out and expose himself before he dies. He's getting up there. He's about 90 or 91 these days. Interesting stuff, to say the least. Just a few weeks ago I was studying The Watergate Scandal in US History, and watching the movie based on it. Mind boggling to hear that Deep Throat has finally revealed himself, in my opinion. I never expected it to be exposed.
OMG GREY FOX IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I couldn't resist. If you played Metal Gear Solid you would understand.
