Deep Throats all around

Bob Harris points out that there's no need to wait for a "Deep Throat" to blow, so to speak, the lid off of the Bush house of lies--we've already got dozens:

Galling, how all the talk about Deep Throat inspired so little reflection about the long list of recent equivalents, insiders telling anyone who will listen, on the record, that Bush and his cronies are a gang of incompetents, liars, and criminals.

And these folks aren't lurking in garages and manipulating potted plants in order to drop hints of darker realms to reporters who have to do all the legwork themselves. These people are well-known experts, practically screaming from the rooftops.

Harris has an online poll for you to choose your favorite whistle-blower, and links to this article which lists plenty of modern-day Deep Throats. And it was written before the Downing Street memo was made public or before the latest reports out of Gitmo came out.

What's missing isn't insiders with integrity willing to tell the truth. What's missing is an independent media and a Congress willing to do its job.
