They Get Letters

Dear LA Times:

Gee, thanks for today's editorial ("Deep Throat Was Right: Follow the Money," 6/3/05) providing a forum for Nixon speechwriter Pat Buchanan to give his thoughts on the recently unmasked "Deep Throat," whose divulging of secrets to Washington Post reporters helped bring down Nixon. I would never have guessed that a Nixon speechwriter would think negatively about Deep Throat, and question his motives. Thanks for getting this out there.

And I'm glad you didn't question the Nixon speechwriter's motives in defending Nixon, because that would just be tactless.

For balance, I hope you print Haldeman and Ehrlichman's take on the issue soon.

Sincerely,
D-Day
