Oh, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

John, I admire your preserverence in answering this stuff, but in fact
the FDR arragned Pearl Harbor (or at least knew about it) is a rather
common belief. William Manchester, who wrote a very good biography of
MacArthur, also wrote a memoir of his own role in the Pacific War. In
doing so, he visits Pearl etc, and he makes the nearly-flat statement
that Washington knew about the raid in advance. So here's a brilliant
writer, then professor at Wesleyan, and careful and convincing
biographer, coming out with the great myth of 1941.

Not to mention the JFK assassination (by the CIA, wasn't it?).

9/11 is certain to come to the same end. The holes in the argument are
obvious to us, because the events are so vivid, but they won't be
obvious to the next generation.
