Having had the honor of meeting General Tibbets personally, I can happily refute such a ridiculous claim.

A great uncle of mine was ground crew for the Enola Gay. From the stories he told me about reunions I don't think there was much second guessing. Congrats on having the honor of knowing Gen Tibbets, I have read his book and he comes across as the all American humble hero. I have also read one book on the bombing which sites two Japanese historians who agree that it saved lives on both sides.
