I think the ethics he's referring to is the general obligation of investigators not to disclose information about an ongoing investigation.

Since there was evidence that the director of the FBI at the time (L. Patrick Gray) participated in the coverup, I think he probably had more than ample legal and ethical ground to disclose the information that he did.

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).

Concur as to being better made by another, but your example is irrelevant.

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.

Possible. I think I heard that they talked him into agreeing to come forward, but I'm not totally sure on that.
