2. wish he was on tv news more often

explaining why they hesitated to confirm that felt was deep throat. said woodward gave his word to felt that it would be after his death and bradlee gave woodward his word so he had to check with woodward
thus the hesitation

also said the vanity fair piece is "pretty damn good"

eta: and bradlee also said felt was right and doesnt see how there is any villainy to what he did.
