today the 69th anniversary of the bombing of pearl harbor.hristie smith is live in contra costa county where survivors want the nation to remember the tragedy so it doesn't happen again. good morning. >> good morning, scott. this is the 47th year where survivors gather on the top of mount diablo and share their stories. this year there is added significance and urgency because the number of survivor who witnessed one of the most deadly attacks on american soil is declining. just this summer, four members of the mount diablo chapter of the pearl harbor survivor's association passed away. many are getting up in age. survivors that brought the u.s. into world war ii tell stories and light a beacon on top of mount diablo. is shines a white light throughout the night into the next morning. the survivors will make a stop at a school in concord and give a talk to the students. last year, snow altered the ceremony and had to be held at the entrance. this year could be cloudy and foggy. it doesn't matter so much if the light can be seen, but it's more

today is pearl harbor day. 69 years ago today, the japanese bombed the military base in hawaii. it's a day that will live in infamy. today in the bay's christie smith is live in contra costa where survivors want the nation to remember the tragedy so it doesn't happen again. christie? >> survivors are really a living part of american history. this is the 47th year they gathered on top of mount diablo to share stories and lie a beacon. the phrase remember pearl harbor is taking on a more poignant and urgent tone as witnesses to one of the deadliest attacks on american soil. four members of the mount diablo chapter of the pearl harbor survivor's association passed away this summer. nationwide it's estimated that in survivor's groups, there only 3,000 members left. that serves as a reminder as to why this group is so dedicated to the cause. the attack ushered in the united states involvement in world war ii. the beacon locally blinks a white light until it's turned off the next morning. survivors will stop at a sch

wanted o bomb tokeyole before pearl harbor? >> yeah. that's amazing. roosevelt was outraged by the behavior othe japanese in the war against china, machine gunning civilians in the street, bombing defenseless cities. he considered a plan, this was a year in advance of pearl harbor, whereby by the united states would give b-17 bombers to the chinese and train chinese pilots to fly them against toke coe. he was told it would take two years to train these pilots. so, the backup position was we would give the bombers to china and we would have american pilots resign from the air force and volunteer fly them. so, we would have american pilots flying american planes a year before pearl harbor against tokyo. he was advised by cooler heads that this would be an out right provocation and could only lead to war. >> the british fed f.d.r. phony intelligence to draw the united states into the war? >> well, winston churchill was very eager to have the united states join the waragainst hitler. and, consequently, british agents were to provide intelligence that would

and this is where i go back to pearl harbor. why did the americans' failure to anticipate the japanese attack? why did the americans' failure to anticipate the japanese military capabilities? you can turn that around, which i do and say why did the japanese fail to imagine the american response. they totally missed how the americans would respond as well as our capacity and will to remember pearl harbor and get revenge. that was one of the posters of revenge of pearl harbor. that was a standard phrase. and the same thing occurs in the case of al-qaeda and 9/11. and then it transfers -- and this is where my book, which was going to be a short book, suddenly became a big book because i began trying to wrestle with these various different questions before the u.s. invasion of iraq. now, when the u.s. invasion of iraq took place, 18 months after 9/11, in march, 2003, we had another colossal failure of intelligence on the part of the united states. and a colossal failure of imagination on the part of the united states. so if you come

so it went from pearl harbor and 9/11 into world war ii.other the world trade center ruins ground zero to learn a whole different dimension of world war ii. so what began with 9/11 and then became much more common. >> tied together hiroshima and iraq. >> well, the real tie is hiroshima and 9/11. that is the real tie because ground zero is an atomic bomb freeze. that was the original association. and that goes to the question of bombing or deliberately targeting civilians. and that's a practice that comes out of world war ii, in world war ii he wanted to destroy enemy morale with the anglo-american were problems in the united states. it was done in germany. so, the ground zero 45 ground zero 2001 is the link. the iraq link was a choice to begin with because we go from 9/11, this war of choice by the islamist terrorists to the japanese war of choice earlier and there is a parallel. and suddenly we have a war of choice against iraq. and then we have a terrific failure of intelligence on iraq, gestate disasters failure of intelligence on the pa

four members of the chapter of the pearl harbor survivor's association in hawaii on december seventh, 1941 passed away this summer. out of the 60,000 military personal on the island in 1941, it is estimated there only 3,000 left in the entire united states. the group called the sons and daughters of the pearl harbor survivors is working to preserve the history. locally survivors will stop at a school in concord and talk to students before heading up to mount diablo later. over the year, fog and clouds made the beacon difficult to see, but what matters is they want to know it's lit for those who died on december 7 th. it starts this afternoon at 3:45. live in concord, today in the bay. >> thanks for the update. the aclu is demanding answers from the state of california. they want documents turned over that detail the purchase of execution drugs. they bought a drug used in the cocktail from britain and they want to know why the state was secretive about the deal and if using the drug from britain is legal. there is no death penalty in britain and their government banned the export of th

. >>> in december, 1941 the united states had just been attacked at pearl harbor and joined the fight against japan and germany, but for one bay area 6-year-old, christmas was still a magical time, one that even 60 years later he still remembers fondly. george watson, first brought us this report in december of 2001. >> reporter: christmas, 1941, a season of feelings, mixed and unknowning. the world is at war, the united states is family in it and no one knows yet what that will mean. how long will it last? what sacrifices will have to be made? across the country, people are asking the basic question, what will happen to our family? and barely three weeks after pearl harbor another question how long in the air, what would become of that most familial of traditions, christmas? christmas will always be what you make of it and if seen through the eyes of a child, even in the shadow of war, it will be a memory worth cherrishing. mike mcgee's christmas of 1941 was preserved, but he would have remembered it, because after all, was 6 years old at the tile. >> the biggest thing i wanted was c

just a disastrous failure of intelligence on the part of the united states and so then you got pearl harbor which was the japanese tactical brilliant, strategically idiotic thing, and the war of islamists, and the american choice. i'm a historian and wanted to understand it's not all the same, but i wanted to see how you could do or think comparatively about war and then every side is talking holy wars, and wars have always been with us in modern times even with new technologies, and i really want the to wrestle with it. i had to try to figure some things out for myself, ask questions i hadn't asked. >> vietnam is not a focus of your book, why? >> it's not a focus of the book because there was simply not space to do it, but vietnam figures in as one of the major cultures of war. it's mentioned in passing in a number of ways. vietnam figures in both as a place where you deliberately targeted noncombatants. vietnam figures in in a different way in the failures of intelligence, and i write about this at some length. the subtitle could only be so long. it wasn't that i was going back to vietnam

professor dower, what is the similarity between pearl harbor and 9/11?'s where the book begins, when 9/11 happened. headlines all over the u.s., the day of infamy, some of them voted roosevelt famous date will live in infamy and immediately people said surprise attack to use the word, a cause of steve coo --, causey. i am a historian and i have done a lot of thinking about the war. it's been complicated because then it spun into failure of intelligence, surprise attacks, dennis started to get into world war ii where you had the firemen picture raising the stars and stripes,, that i can't picture. in the president began calling for the war on terror and then he began with rows of will and truman. so it went from the pearl harbor in 9/11 into world war ii, and then the world trade center reuben's ground zero and then we were in a whole different dimension. this which began with 9/11 infamy and then it became much more complicated. >> tie together hiroshima and iraq. >> well, the tyee is hiroshima and 9/11. that was the real tight because ground zero was an
