BILOXI, Miss. (AP) - Fred LaRue, a Watergate figure and high-ranking Nixon administration official who once was rumored to be Deep Throat, has died of natural causes. He was 75.

His body was discovered Tuesday by a maid who entered his hotel room in Biloxi, Coroner Gary Hargrove said. The coroner said he believes LaRue died Saturday.

LaRue was known as the "bagman" who delivered payoffs to keep participants in the Watergate break-in quiet, and served 4 1/2 months in federal prison for conspiracy to obstruct justice.

LaRue served as special assistant to John Mitchell, the former attorney general who later headed President Nixon's re-election committee.

LaRue was present at a 1972 meeting with Mitchell and Nixon aide Jeb Stuart Magruder at Nixon's vacation home in Key Biscayne, Fla., where the plan to break into the Watergate complex in Washington allegedly was hatched. LaRue said he advised against the burglarization of the building, which housed Democratic Party headquarters.

1. Well, it seems that the secret of Fred LaRue's roll as....

...undercover informant on the Nixon White House died with him. Too bad there isn't someone in the Bush camp with a conscience who would come forward and blow the whistle on this bunch.

2. There have been more than a few...

A friendly reminder...

John O'Neil, left his job as counterterror chief of FBI because Bush de-emphasized hunt for bin Laden.

Richard Clarke, left his job as counterterror chief of NSC because Bush de-emphasized hunt for bin Laden.

Gen. Downing and Gen. Kettering (ch. spl.s) left the same reasons.

Lots of FBI whistleblowers were silenced: Catherine Rowley, Richard Wright, the agents from across the country who reported terrorists at US flight schools.

Sibel Edmonds stood up.

Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neil stood up and said the pretzeldunce was not up to much except going after Saddam Hussein from Day One.

There are more. And it's not their fault the media don't tell their stories the same way they lie for the glory of Bush and the BFEE.
