Aloha Michael - thanks for your note. I will check out your blog and look forward to your writing.

I also think that Admiral Kimmel and General Short were judged harshly, and should have not been held soley responsible for the attacks. While they were commanding officers, and as such fully responsible for the readiness of their forces, I believe the the Japanese attack was so successful because of surprising nature and timing, and by the Imperial Navy's skillful execution.

Thanks again for your support and reading!

I am a Canadian investigative writer in Ottawa/Gatineau and I have been reseaching the attack on Pearl Harbor for seveal years, having begun my inquiries after intrviewing a man was tasked t lead a team tracking Kido Butai, the Japanese attack fleet, from Hitokappu-Wan to Pearl, which they did, and determened, and reported that fact several days before the attack, providing the answer to the great remaning mystery of the war, What did Winston Churchill and FD Roosvelt know of the attack on Pearl Harbor?, and, When did they know it? Of which one might consult my blog textmethod.net. A book is in development. I do think, from what I have discovered, the Admiral Kimmel deserves an appology and an exoneration regards the charges to is eputation thathabe been laid.
