So that would have made Yamamato a “foreign official” too?
Of course, most of us would take Yamamoto any day--a pro-American who would have been executed if he failed to deliver the plan to attack America they demanded. He even told them it would work for about six months, and after that, probably not. He was right on both counts.
Too bad we couldn't kidnap him and his family instead of shooting him out of the sky.
