An lesson on ethics...from G. Gordon Liddy?

I know, I know...you just can't make this stuff up. Liddy's take on "Deep Throat," former FBI agent Mark Felt:

G. Gordon Liddy, a Nixon operative who engineered the 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Campaign headquarters in the Watergate building in Washington, and served four and a half years in jail for it, said Wednesday that Felt "violated the ethics of the law enforcement profession."

"If he possessed evidence of wrongdoing, he was honor-bound to take that to a grand jury and secure an indictment, not to selectively leak it to a single news source," Liddy, now a popular conservative radio talk show host, told CNN television.

Yes, because the complete lack of whistleblower protections wouldn't put his career in danger at all. Notice, I said "career." Felt was in the FBI for the long haul. He wasn't just some appointee.

Oh, and let me repeat what I find to be the most important sentence in that quote:

Yup, now THERE is an unbiased opinion!

As I remember from back then, folks were downright scared of Liddy and what he was capable of.

Later that year Liddy presented Nixon's attorney general, John N. Mitchell, with an action plan called Operation Gemstone. Liddy wanted a $1 million budget to carry out a series of black ops activities against Nixon's political enemies.

Mr. Felt had nothing to worry about!

If you read the rest of the article, "All of the President's Men" are still attempting to rewrite history. I guess the Bush Administration has proven that it can be done successfully, even while the events are still occurring.
