	Watergate scandal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On March 1, 1974, former aides of the president, known as the Watergate Seven — Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell, Colson, Gordon C. Strachan, Robert Mardian, and Kenneth Parkinson — were indicted for conspiring to hinder the Watergate investigation.
		The remaining five members of the Watergate Seven indicted in March went on trial in October 1974, and on January 1, 1975, all but Parkinson were found guilty.
		Watergate led to a new era in which the mass media became far more aggressive in reporting on the activities of politicians.

	Conspiracy theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conspiracy theory, in contrast to conspiracy as a legal concept, is a narrative genre which includes a broad selection of (not necessarily related) arguments for the existence of various conspiracies, each of which might have far-reaching social and political implications, if found to be true.
		Conspiracy theory is considered by different observers to be a neutral description for a conspiracy claim, a perjorative term used to dismiss such a claim, and a term that can be positively embraced by proponents of such a claim.
		Conspiracies are a popular theme in several genres of fiction, notably thrillers and science fiction, primarily due to their dramatic potential: recasting complex or meaningless historical events into relatively simple morality plays, in which bad people are the cause of bad events, and good people face the relatively simple task of identifying and defeating them.

	Watergate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
		Watergate is the popular name for the political scandal and constitutional crisis that began with the arrest (June 17, 1972) of five burglars who broke into Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office building.
		As it became increasingly evident that the Watergate burglars were tied closely to the Central Intelligence Agency and the Committee to Re-elect the President (CRP), some of Nixon's aides began talking to federal prosecutors.
		Amid increasing disclosures of White House involvement in the Watergate break-in and its aftermath, Nixon announced the resignations of John Ehrlichman and H. Haldeman, two of his closest advisors, and the dismissal of his counsel John W. Dean III.

		If there is indeed to be a revival of the conspiracy thriller, it is undoubtedly the result of the growing feeling that the current imbroglio in Iraq is the result of official deception on the part of the Bush administration.
		Three years before Watergate entered the national consciousness, Pakula was already implying the ability of technology to erode personal privacy and autonomy, a theme he himself would return to later on and one that other conspiracy film directors (Coppola most explicitly) would obsess over.
		Watergate fully emerged onto the national consciousness in 1974, and scripts for mainstream movies released in that year had to have been written months, if not years before.

	Throat Clearing - Watergate conspiracy theories that still won't die. By David Greenberg
		Although the severity of Watergate obviously pales next to the horror of the Holocaust, and the campaigns to gainsay the two events are quite different, the two groups share certain habits of mind.
		But, alas, a conspiracy is by its nature impossible to disprove, and as I write, the signs are appearing that this news has only reignited it.
		Watergate, after all, was that rare historical drama in which skeptics, paranoids, and amateur sleuths didn't need to twist the facts in order to find a conspiracy.

	Watergate after 30 years (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
		THE WATERGATE scandal was the culmination of the worst political crisis for the U.S. ruling class since the 1930s.
		In the years following Watergate, Congress was forced to muzzle the FBI and the CIA, imposing restrictions on the almost limitless powers of the government’s security and law enforcement apparatus.
		But the lesson of Watergate that needs to be remembered today--especially with Bush’s gang on the rampage against our civil liberties--is the importance of the struggles of ordinary people that stopped the Vietnam War, forced concessions from Washington and revealed the corruption of the U.S. political system.

		The crimes of Watergate were thus committed because Nixon confused his self and his Presidency with the nation.
		Nixon decided that this domestic conspiracy against his Presidency had to be crushed, and he was determined to use all the power at his disposal to crush his enemies.

		But it is clear that as Watergate unfolded from 1972 to 1974, media revelations of crimes and political misdeeds repeated what was already known to properly constituted investigative authorities.
		As a whole, most Washington journalists during Watergate were neither victims nor heroes; few challenged the Nixon White House's version of events during the pivotal first months of the scandal.

		Yet the non-journalistic version of how Watergate was uncovered is not exactly a secret—the government prosecutors (Earl Silbert, Seymour Glanzer, and Donald E. Campbell) are more than willing to give a documented account of the investigation to anyone who desires it.
		For example, in motions opposing bail for the defendants, the prosecutors disclosed in a brief filed June 23, 1972 that Mexican checks were deposited in Barker’s account (although the press, until a month later, when the checks were literally handed to reporters, failed to pursue the “money tree” exposed in the bail motions).

		ATLANTA (CNN) -- John Ehrlichman, President Nixon's top domestic affairs adviser who served 18 months in prison on a Watergate conspiracy conviction, died Sunday in a nursing home, friends said Monday.
		Ehrlichman and Nixon's chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman, were known as the "Berlin Wall" because they constituted a sort of palace guard that shielded the reclusive Nixon from unwelcome encounters.
		Ehrlichman was convicted of obstruction of justice, conspiracy and perjury -- based on his false testimony to a Senate committee and the break-in at a Beverly Hills office of the psychiatrist who had treated Daniel Ellsberg, the former Pentagon aide who leaked the Pentagon Papers to The New York Times.

		The leftists criticizing "conspiracy theorists" should consider the following: (1) Conspiracy theory is not inherently "crazy." Any elementary logic text teaches that it would be a fallacy to believe all conspiracy theories are irrational merely because some may be.
		When these prosecutors argue a defendantis guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, are they arguing a "crazy conspiracy theory?" The misguided refusal to admit that conspiracies exist, and in fact occur often, lets governmental wrongdoers off the hook and does not serve the public.
		They should consider that all actual historical conspiracies (such as Watergate and Iran-contra) were lightly substantiated "theories" in the early stages of investigation.
