That's not the conspiracy tint that people talk about.
Some claim the US government needed a rally point to get the public behind the War.
Intel suggested there may be a bombing, but nothing like what happened. So it's less that we got caught with our pants down, than the kick was worse
than expected.
I've seen shows about how all the new ships were put out to sea, and the old crap pulled into Pearl Harbor... memos went ignored, plus the Japanese
could NEVER have moved fleets of ship and craft that close without sending red flags everywhere.
Boats and planes aren't sneaky. Governments are.
That widely held (though not proven) conspiracy theory is why people call 9/11 another Pearl Harbor... an allowed attack to rally round the real
target: Iraq.
