Well, lest we get too carried away with these lists, let me note that
the latest word is that indeed FDR did not know the Japanese were going to
attack Pearl Harbor ahead of time, although he was expecting them to attack
somewhere, probably in the Philippines once he cut of their oil.
Also, with regard to Ho Chi Minh, the OSS had aided him against the
Japanese in WW II and he expected a continuation of that support against the
French. Actually it was FDR in March, 1945, one of his last serious
decisions, who decided that the US would support the French after de Gaulle
made a special appeal and FDR felt a need to assuage him after having
insulted him on multiple occasions during his British exile and during the
liberation of France. However, it was a good six months, that is basically
until the end of the war, before the OSS on the ground got the word and
stopped supporting Ho. The appeal by Ho to Truman was to undo a decision
made by FDR.
