Un artículo de la revista Vanity Fair, escrita por John D. O'Connor, revela la identidad de Deep Throat, la fuente secreta que ayudó a los reporteros Bob Woodward y Carl Bernstein de The Washington Post para dar a conocer el escándalo Watergate. W. Mark Felt, segundo en mando del FBI durante el escándalo, confirmó ser Deep Throat, apodo tomado del nombre de una película pornográfica de los 70s.

Born in Twin Falls, Idaho, in 1913, he graduated from the University of Idaho, went to George Washington University Law School and joined the FBI in 1942.
Mr. Felt, now 91, retired and in failing health in Santa Rosa, Calif., spent more than 30 years at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, eventually becoming its No. 2 official in the midst of the Watergate inquiry.
In a statement today, Woodward and Bernstein said, "W. Mark Felt was 'Deep Throat' and helped us immeasurably in our Watergate coverage. However, as the record shows, many other sources and officials assisted us and other reporters for the hundreds of stories that were written in The Washington Post about Watergate."

For PostSecret, you write, type or paste your secret on a postcard, and then, if you want, decorate the card with drawings or photographs. Next the stamp and then the mailbox. Yes, it's work to confess. And it should be, if only for the sake of the person who might be listening.
(...)PostSecret is simple to navigate. You scroll down to read one postcard after another. There's little else on the site. O.K., you will occasionally run into little self-congratulatory landmarks: announcements that PostSecret will be onstage in Melbourne, Australia, newspaper clippings from all over the world, scores of compliments from readers. But basically it's all secrets.
(...) It isn't really a true confessional after all. It is a piece of collaborative art.
