Of course, but then again, Felt denied lying, betraying a trust and breaking the law, i.e. about what he accused Nixon of doing. Somewhat ironic isn't it.

The various people mentioned in Fear are named, are not accused of breaking any laws or lying and denied the accuracy of what some anonymous source or sources claimed to have happened. Given that several are considered very honorable and no one who was actually there have publicly stepped up and said that any of it is true, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. As far as I can tell, there is nothing to be gained by hiding behind anonymity in this situation, so I wonder why they do.
