[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 2356863, member: 5151"] Not so much FDR ignoring the reports as it was withholding intel from Hawaii, relieving or rebuking commanders who tried to shore up Pearl Harbor's defense, sending warning via dispatch (known to take a day in most cases - was a miracle that it arrived only 6 hours after the attack) instead of phone, clearing a path of all Allied vessels between Japan and Hawaii, and basically facilitating the attack. At least, that's according to many, many unclassified documents obtained via FOIA or public availability. (Most of the government's information about Pearl Harbor and the events leading up to and surrounding the attacks are still classified.) [/QUOTE]
