11. Nixon himself was
convinced that it was John Dean--and so I have always gone with that--I figure Nixon probably knew better than anyone else would be out to get him (of the small group of insiders who had the knowledge to do so).

Also, throughout the past 30 years, whenever journalists have been polled---Dean is almost always their top pick. The smart $$ in Washington has always been on Dean --and Washington rumors about his role abound.

18. Nope. Deep Throat would make SURE that Nixon thought it was Dean.
It would be someone Nixon trusted. George Herbert Walker Bush.

23. Fred Fielding was Dean's assistant. Really smart money is on Fred.
Fielding fits Woodward and Bernstein's description far better. A student project that started out intending to prove Buchanan was it ended up fingering Fred Fielding, too, using exhaustive, rigorous research standards. He's the only suspect who had a 100% match on knowing everything that Deep Throat was able to know.

Haig? Jeeze, he's not even on the same timeline as the Throat. Laughable, crank theory that.

Fielding keeps popping up (he was on the 9/11 Commission!) at the weirdest places. His office in the Reagan White House was the focal point of much of Woodward's books on Reagan and Bill Casey.

10. If it was one person it was Haig.
However, it was probably more than one person.

12. Well Woodward just said that when everyone
found out the identity of Deep Throat they would understand the need for all the secrecy. Hmmm...Kissinger, Bush I, Ford?

17. It's the guy
that calls in to the Al Franken Show. I'm sure of it!

We know Deep throat is still alive, because he will supposedly be revealed after his death, according to Woodward.

19. It's not a composite, it is one person
According to Woodward.

And he is definitely still alive as his name is to be revealed at his death.

Strange after all this time he still doesn't want people to know his identity.

I haven't a clue as to who it is.
