The American government has to cover up the facts, since they are damning. I remember in 2003, with the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum completed the restoration of Enola Gay. Originally there was to be a large placard citing the facts of the bombing, but since they make us look bad, all the Professionlly Patriotic congresscritters got their knickers in a knot over that, raising so much hell that the guy leading the project resigned. If you go there today, you can read a history of the bomber itself, but nothing about what it actually did.
Incredible story. Thank you for reminding us so poignantly of the horrors of the atomic bomb. and thank you for your commitment for so many years. It's an honor to work with you. lyn
