It has always been my belief that 'Deep Throat' was a composit of several persons. Woodward, himself, is more interesting than most know - background in intelligence and definitely a asset for Mockingbird within the media. On the EF, Doug Caddy, who should know hinted that Felt was not [at least not fully] Deep Throat and would be in detail in his forthcoming book. I think more productive is a look at who Woodward is. In the book, the signalling method used for a meeting turns out to be nearly impossible and must be a fictional device to both hide the identities of his sources, as well as add a bit of 'zip' to the narrative.
