I think the ethics he's referring to is the general obligation of investigators not to disclose information about an ongoing investigation. It's a fair point, but might be better made by someone other than a person ultimately convicted by that information, say, for example, a person improperly implicated early in an investigation that is later cleared (like the first olympic park bomber).
I have to say, that I find Felt's admission at this point most curious. Why make it now? I suspect his family had some ulterior motive that he was not fully capable, in his post-stroke condition, of resisting. The motive may simply have been "make grampa happy for his last couple of years", but still.
