Hear Watergate "plumber" Egil "Bud" Krogh, on this edition of Fresh Air.

Krogh was one of the "president's men" in the Watergate era. He was co-director of a special investigations unit known as "the plumbers" that was tasked by President Nixon with stopping leaks of top-secret information. Believing that leaks were a matter of national security, Krogh approved a covert operation to break in and burglarize the office of psychiatrist Daniel Ellsberg - the person who had leaked the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times. Krogh pled guilty to criminal conspiracy and served time in prison. He now has a new memoir, Integrity: Good People, Bad Choices and Life Lessons from the White House.
