William Daniel Leahy Parmi ces derniers figurait l’amiral Leahy, chef d’état-major du président Roosevelt, puis du président Truman. Il répugnait à l’idée d’employer une telle arme contre la population civile : « Mon sentiment intime était qu’en l’employant les premiers, nous avions adopté une morale semblable à celle des barbares de l’Age des Ténèbres.
