After the first blockquote in the Pearl Harbor and Aftermath section, there's a psuedo-reference asking readers to "[see Skipper Steely, Pearl Harbor Countdown, Pelican Publishing)." Obviously, whoever put in the reference believes it's in support of the paragraph but I don't have the book to verify it or replace it with a better reference. Can anyone else? If so, please replace this substandard ref. Thanks! -- [[User:Srwalden|Srwalden]] ([[User talk:Srwalden|talk]]) 19:37, 29 January 2016 (UTC) |

Under attack
The whole section regarding the Pearl Harbor attack sounds suspect to me. It lacks citations and doesn't read as neutral POV to this writer. Thoughts? Tchaika (talk) 00:29, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. Much of this article currently consists of rumor-mongering. In particular, the following statement should be removed if it cannot be properly sourced: "As of 2010, the CIA has not released many of the JN-25 messages deciphered before December 7, 1941." If there are no objections, I will delete it. --Westwind273 (talk) 08:02, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
- There were no JN-25 messages decrypted; there were only very fragmentary breaks. Delete it. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 08:58, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
Identifying those who posit a Roosevelt set-up to Pearl Harbor as "historical fact seekers" is opinion, plainly. I can't see how so many deep insinuations can stand behind a single citation, penned so soon after the events to which they claim to offer the "final secret". I think the subtitle qualifies the work nicely in the broad scheme. DulcetTone (talk) 02:55, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
- I should have done this long ago. It's an excuse to claim there was a conspiracy & has damn all to do with Richardson. Removed. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 03:50, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Inline Citations Regarding Pearl Harbor
Richardson
Two items. First, the citations regarding Richardson are improving as per above from 2011, but it's my perception that many books have been written about Pearl Harbor. Therefore, I find the reliance on Flynn to be better than nothing but not as good as it can be.
