John Toland's "Infamy" (Pearl Harbor and its aftermath) details how the U.S.
was quite aware of the Japanese fleet approaching Pearl.  There were radio
intercepts from ships of the fleet itself in addition to the U.S. rading
Japanese secret traffic.  Pearl Harbor was purposely not warned because FDR
didn't wish the Japanese attack to be called off.  The resulting coverup
makes WaterGate look like child's play.  Go ahead and read the book.

BTW, I think history shows FDR did the right thing.  Had we not entered the
war when we did, Germany could have completed their atomic bomb and V-9.
