Deep Throat revealed

Unbelievable. This is truly the end of an era.

The secret of Deep Throat's identity is one that's been kept longer than I've been alive. Now, on the front page of BBC News, there is a black and white picture of a debonair gentleman looking directly into the camera. The caption reads: "Mark Felt says he only told his secret to his family three years ago."

Here's the gist:

"The Washington Post has confirmed a former deputy chief of the FBI was Deep Throat, the source who leaked secrets during the Watergate scandal."
"Mr Felt only admitted his secret to his family in 2002, he told the magazine, when his daughter confronted him after being tipped off by one of his close associates."

And here's the article:
