Summary
Nobody can definitively say whether Oppenheimer truly deserved to lose his security clearance. He made several mistakes of great import. However, he loyally served the United States throughout his life and was instrumental in creating the weapon that ultimately ended the war (whether that weapon needed to be used is another debate altogether). His associations during several key times in his past were shady at best. However, those associations were part of his past. The debate stems to this date, and barring further evidence for either side, there is no resolution forthcoming. This deadlock does not come for lack of trying. Oppenheimer’s FBI file was brimming with surveillance, interviews, and other forms of monitoring befitting a man of his importance.
