Clinton Questions Dwarf Deep Throat's ID

The greatest political mystery of all time was solved yesterday with the revelation of the identity of Woodward and Bernstein's "Deep Throat." So says the mainstream press, in yet another orgy of self congratulation over their long ago Watergate triumph.

For those who were paying attention during the Clinton years, however, curiosity about "Deep Throat's" identity pales next to some of the unsolved mysteries of the 1990s that the media never cared about.

Story Continues Below

  Such as:

• Who threatened Kathleen Willey? On the eve of her January 1998 testimony in the Paula Jones case, Willey was approached by mysterious man who noted that her car tires had been slashed and her cat was missing, before rattling off the names of her children.

The mystery man then threatened: "I hope you're getting the message." Investigators never learned the identity of the man who tried to intimidate Ms. Willey.

• Who hired private detectives Jack Palladino and Anthony Pellicano? The two gumshoes worked to silence women who claimed they had affairs with Bill Clinton during the Clintons' 1992 presidential camapign. A notation in the campaign's Federal Election Commission filing shows that Palladino was paid from campaign coffers.

• How did White House security director Craig Livingstone, a former bar bouncer, manage to obtain 1,200 confidential FBI files on the Clintons' political enemies? Requisitons for the files had Clinton counsel Bernard Nussbaum's name on them. But Nussbaum told probers he was innocent.

The White House said the outrageous FBI file abuse was merely "a bureaucratic snafu," an excuse investigators - as well as the media - soon accepted.

• Who ordered the IRS to audit Clinton's critics and accusers? In what reporters claimed was a mere a coincidence, Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Elizabeth Ward Gracen and Juanita Broaddrick were all investigated by the Clinton IRS, as well as Billy Dale and Johnnie Chung. Conservative organizations like the Christian Coalition, the Freedom Alliance, the National Rifle Association and the Heritage Fouundation were targeted as well.

The media never pursued obvious questions about the suspicious audits, even though the IRS was headed at the time by Hillary Clinton friend and ally, Margaret Milner Richardson.

• How did Vince Foster's suicide note mysteriously appear in a briefcase that had already been thoroughly searched before a room full of witnesses? On July 22, 1993, White House counsel Bernard Nussbaum conducted the search of Foster's briefcase at the White House as FBI agents and Park Police officers looked on.

"It's empty," he proclaimed, holding the briefcase open to dispel any doubt.

But four days later, Nussbaum claimed that he'd overlooked 22 scraps of papers that tumbled out of the bag when his aide was packing up Foster's personal affects. The scraps, when pieced together, formed a note blaming Clinton media critics for depressing Foster.

• Who was Sandy Berger calling? The former national security advisor finally admitted in March that he removed top secret terrorism documents from the National Archives while preparing for President Clinton's testimony before the 9/11 Commission.

Guards at the Archives said that Berger repeatedly asked to be left alone in the document room so he could make some private calls. The identity of Berger's telephone partner has never been revealed.

• Who at the Justice Department advised President Clinton not to accept a 1996 offer from Sudan to extradite Osama bin Laden to the U.S.? In 2002, Clinton said he'd been told "we had no legal basis to hold him" because bin Laden "had committed no crime against America."

Instead, Clinton said he tried to persuade Saudi Arabia to take bin Laden. When they refused, the al Qaeda mastermind set up operations in Afghanistan, where he plotted the 9/11 attacks.

The identity of Deep Throat? Compared to questions about who deep-sixed bin Laden's arrest, who cares?
