The “Deep Throat” of Watergate ill fame.
What are we to make of a man who betrays trust, leaks information to the media anonymously and then hides his identity until late in life when, seemingly, he and/or his family felt the need to cash in on his skulduggery? I can’t speak for all, of course, but speaking for myself I say this – if anyone in government believes his superior is violating the law, then it is his or her moral duty to report it to the proper authorities and be willing to state in public what they know. Failure to do this is cowardice.
