FDR was Commander In Chief, and took that reponsibility very seriously. It was his job to be instantly made aware of material enemy intercepts. If "most historians" claim that absence of a declassified paper trail is reason to conclude that FDR was derelict in his duties, than "most historians" are idiots and/or prostituted imperialist apologists (your conclusion, not necessarily mine).

Our greatest historian (Charles Beard) and our greatest historical novelist (Gore Vidal) should suffice.

P.S. Assuming that it was GWBush who *personally*
ordered the stand down of US air defenses on 11/09/01,
what is your estimate of the likelihood that a
paper trail establishing that fact will be made
available to "most historians" sometime in the
next millenium?
