@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.
