A code clerk at the U.S. embassy in London discovered secret dispatches
between Roosevelt and Churchill. These revealed that FDR, despite
contrary campaign promises, was determined to engage America in the
war. He smuggled some of the documents out of the embassy, hoping to
alert the American public, but was caught. With U.S. government
approval, he was tried in a secret British court and confined to a
British prison until the war's end.

This is what I believe:
(1)
President Roosevelt knew the Japanese attack was coming.
(2)
President Roosevelt intended that the Army and Navy commanders in Hawaii should not know the Japanese attack was coming.
(3)
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill knew the Japanese fleet was on the way to attack Pearl Harbor.
(4)
Churchill warned Roosevelt, but Roosevelt already knew.
(5)
Admiral Kimmel and General Short were telling the truth when they said
that Washington had withheld vital information from them. But nobody
believed them. And it was intended that nobody would believe them.
