Documentary: "Pearl Harbor: The Accused" or "Pearl Harbor: The Truth"

[WallysWorld]

I just watched this fascinating 90 minute documentary on HBO Canada detailing the mishaps, goofs and perhaps(?) outright incompetence leading up to the Pearl Harbor attack. The show is based on the book "A Matter of Honor" by Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan and  tries to explain about how Kimmel (and Short) were scapegoated by the U.S. Navy and the U.S. government.

"The Americans had actually cracked the Japanese code," says Alan Handel, the Montreal executive producer of the documentary. Washington had collected vast amounts of intelligence over the previous 12 months, all pointing to an attack. The question is, how much of that information was passed on to Kimmel?
"The full story of Admiral Kimmel opens a new window on what really happened," says Handel, who suggests the documentary "plays like a political thriller."

The show goes under a different name on History Channel: Pearl Harbor: The Truth
