Why Now, Deep Throat?

Could W. Mark Felt's admission have anything to do with the "anonynous source" scandal at Newsweek?

Probably not, but it is funny to see the most famous anonymous source of the 20th Century, who did his tattling to Washington Post reporters Woodward & Bernstein, reveal himself as a credile witness to wrongdoing only weeks after the Gitmo allegations had to be retracted because an anonymous source backed off the story.

Especially considering Newsweek is owned by whom?

The Washington Post Company.
