Deep Throat

I guess you have heard that the guy they called Deep Throat died during the most recent cycle of news. The Guardian has a nice write up about him here. Thankfully there have been several whistle blowers that have helped reveal the misdeeds of our current presidential administration. Seymour Hersh's expose on the atrocities at Abu Ghraib was possible because of a whistle blower. It's easy to forget in this era of crappy TV news networks that there still are excellent and conscientious reporters like Hersh out there.
