Pearl Harbor tragedy and the drive for full disclosure
A 1940s editorial calls for full public disclosure about Pearl Harbor, urging the American people to learn who bore responsibility for the loss of 3000 sailors and why battleships were bottled up in harbor while the U S and Japan faced a showdown. It critiques hush hush politics spanning decades and questions decisions of Admiral Kimmel General Short and leadership during Roosevelt's run for a fourth term. The piece emphasizes accountability before the 1940s election and demands clearer information for voters.
