"Evidently, there was more involved than simply the release of Japanese war criminals in exchange for data on human experiments...."

"Evidently" but not "evidentially", Black Jade?

The CIA was established by President Truman in 1947, was it?

Hmm, do you admit in your scattergun "evidently's", any distinctions among, say, "suspected war criminals," "alleged war criminals", "charged war criminals", "convicted war criminals", and so forth?

I await the expansion of the implied moral equivalence in your "evidently" with detailed research into the precise events and the context, which is outlined in some of the posts above.

And here as well—Colonel Tsuji of Malaya

Merely by the war, what's Antiwar.com's "take" on the Colonel, if you please?
