Blogger Eric Muller, believes it's time to start "winding the back-and-forth down." This desire is apparently shared by his co-critic, author Greg Robinson. I can see why.

In yesterday's post, I pointed out that Robinson had failed to correct more than a half-dozen factual errors that I called to his attention in my Aug. 6 entry:

* His false assertion that most of the [MAGIC] cables discussed in my book came from Tokyo or Mexico City and referred to areas outside the United States;

* His false assertion that those cables that do speak of the United States list Japan's "hopes" or "intentions" rather than actions or results;

* His incorrect statement that I implied that the primary push for evacuation came from President Roosevelt;

* His false assertion that I failed to explain why immediate loyalty hearings were not granted to people of Japanese ancestry;

* His false assertion that I said that the opinion of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover on the Japanese Americans was not reliable or relied upon;

* He false statement that I dared not touch the question of why the Canadian government went through the process of relocating and incarcerating their ethnic Japanese residents; and

* His false assertion that the Office of Naval Intelligence opposed mass evacuation.

It has now been 19 days since I pointed out these errors. Robinson has posted multiple entries about my book on Muller's site, including his "final word" on the subject, but he has not acknowledged any of the above errors. Not one.

In addition, my entry from yesterday identified more than a half-dozen new factual errors made by Robinson in his more recent posts on Muller's site:

* He falsely stated that I said that racial bigotry played no factor in the evacuation;

* He falsely stated that there were no shellings or attacks by Japanese subbarines on or near the West Coast after December 1941;

* He falsely stated that the U.S. Navy opposed evacuation;

* He falsely accused me of arguing that the decision to sign Executive Order 9066 was based in part on the shelling of the Goleta oil fields (which occurred after EO 9066 was signed);

* He mischaracterized the views of ONI officer Kenneth Ringle;

* He falsely stated that dual citizenship among Nisei was a "canard;" and

* He falsely stated that Japan’s Honolulu spy ring was shut down before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Robinson has not corrected any of these mistakes either.

Robinson has accused me of arguing in "bad faith" and of trying to "elide" his points. But I have corrected every factual error that has been brought to my attention. Robinson has acknowledged virtually none of his.

I wonder, too, what Muller thinks about this. Does he stand by the false statements described above, all of which he posted on his site or on The Volokh Conspiracy blog?

In addition, Muller and Robinson have tossed out baseless charges of "plagiarism" and "slander" against me, only to retreat from those accusations while leaving a pile of falsehoods uncorrected.

The American Historical Society's statement on standards of professional conduct dictates that historians "must not be indifferent to error or efforts to ignore or conceal it."

Final words, gentlemen?

Update: Muller's lame non-response speaks for itself.
