12 Identity of Pearl Harbor terrorist revealed: Sources say that American intelligence has discovered that Mitsuo Fuchida (picture below) was in charge of the air attack at the Pearl Harbor navy base last week.

I agree with your intent. But the man you displayed a picture of had a fascinating life story.

Mituso Fuchida did indeed lead part of the air raid on Pearl Harbor. He survived the war. In the months following the end of WWII he became very angry that the Allies were conducting war crime trials out of vengeance - which was a part of the Bushido Code. He then met his navigator who had survived the war in an American POW camp. The navigator told the story of how his American captors treated him well - especially a female nurse whose parents were killed by Japanese troops in Southeast Asia. Fuchida would later meet 1 of the 72 Doolittle raiders in Japan who there proselytizing Christianity. Fuchida became a Christian and toured the world evangelizing Christianity. He even wrote a book, "From Pearl Harbor to Golgotha". In the late 1950s he met Col. Paul Tibbets, pilot of the B-29 "Enola Gay" which dropped the A-bomb on Hiroshima. Fuchida told Tibbets that he did the right thing because the Japanese people would have fought to the death any invasion of the Japanese home islands.
