Hello, Deep throat

Ladies and Gentlemen: it was W. Mark Felt.

But the million-dollar question is: why did he come out now?

Here's my theory: to save unnamed sources.

Watergate is the best example ever of why reporters should be able to use unnamed sources if the situation renders it necessary. True, it is ideal to have named sources, but I'll take a truthful unnamed source over one that gives a name but lies on any given story.

I.E. I'd prefer a truthful FBI agent over a lying sack-of-feces president.
