::::IMO, I think that's correct. FDR had no advance knowledge neither was part of an advance plot, etc. However, what is undeniable is, there was a generation of Pearl Harbor Truthers who lived through it, and not just partisan Republicans, who believed it so. I spoke with at least 3 of them as late as the 1990s, fifty years after the event, who spoke with more commitment to that belief than any JFK assassination truther I ever met.

::::One guy, who was there, told me that the Saturday night before was declared open liberty, the gates were flung open (which never previously occurred), no guards, and everybody was drunk and hung over by 7:00 AM when the attack came.

:::::Based on cracking the Japanese codes, the Navy Department knew an attack was imminent and sent out a "war warning" on November 27. The Japanese strike force maintained radio silence, so the U.S. did not know what the plan was for Pearl Harbor. In response to the warning, the commander at Pearl moved his aircraft to center of the airfield. This was to avoid sabotage, but it made the planes vulnerable to bombing.

:::::I have to concur with MayGodBless. With the ''Greer'' incident in September and ''Ruben James'' incident in October, FDR was doing his best to provoke Hitler. He didn't need a war with Japan. The Japanese attack on the U.S. was a response to Hitler's invasion of Russia. In October, Stalin moved his Siberian divisions west to defend Moscow. This gave the Japanese a free hand in the east.
