@wellerstein Interesting, but it seems a stretch that Truman were kept out of the loop about the nature of the first 2 targets.@GeneDannen
@_up_and_away_ @GeneDannen Well, sometimes things that "seem a stretch" turn out to be true when you learn more about them.

@wellerstein Regardless, thin evidence for a spectacular claim.@GeneDannen -
@_up_and_away_@GeneDannen One works with the evidence one has to work with, and tries to avoid making erroneous assumptions. -
@wellerstein Would argue that the chain of events during the days in question points in other directions. Still, it's history, not physics. -
@_up_and_away_ Frankly, I am not sure you know the chain of events all that well. -
@wellerstein And I in exchange think you are a bit too eager to eager to embrace counterfactuals, and not consider context. -
@_up_and_away_ I am not trying to judge you, but your questions and statements indicate a superficial knowledge, with many errors. -
@wellerstein Well then, if that is your impression I guess we are done here. -
@_up_and_away_ Would be happy to converse at length over e-mail, but not Tweets! Not enough space to say much.
