Grandson Works to Clear Officer's Name in Pearl Harbor Attack

From the August 5, 2013, Clarion-Ledger.

Rear Admiral Husband Kimmel and Army Major General Walter Short were called "solely responsible" for the disaster at Pearl Harbor and both were demoted.

Tom Kimmel says his grandfather was a scapegoat.

After the attack, a special commission was set up and found the officers guilty, but those findings have since come under attack and scrutiny.

Now some historians are saying that Kimmel and Short were no the recipients of important military intelligence which might have led to better preparation.
