From today's Olympian, re W. Mark Felt revealing himself as Watergate
Deep Throat: "What made a straight-laced career FBI guy turn on the
White House?"
"Turn on" the White House? The tone implies that Felt was some kind of
vindictive traitor for doing what he could to expose lawbreaking. I
don't see the question in why a "straight-laced" law enforcement
professional would attempt to assist in bringing a criminal to justice.
But, my thinking on this is stuck in the seventies, when authority was
sometimes questioned, and for a while it looked as if we had a chance of
becoming "A nation of laws, and not of men." That's Old-Age thinking.
Now it's just "support the president no matter what he does, wave flags,
and watch Fox."
