@pthefigg@GeneDannen@BarbaraHib Truman's diary entries reflect a confused, incurious man on the margins:http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2014/08/08/kyoto-misconception/ …
@pthefigg @GeneDannen @BarbaraHib Truman did not micromanage the war, nor the bomb. He continued what he saw as FDR's policies/momentum.

@wellerstein@GeneDannen Killing and targeting civilians WAS the policy. It didn't start with Hiroshima. Or end. Why the 2nd? -
@pthefigg@GeneDannen Q. is not what "the policy" was, but what Truman thought or knew it was. He was not in the loop.
