I think that the only reason that the wisdom of dropping "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" on Japan is questionned, is because of the political aspect, which of course is kept secret.

US president Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) had just been replaced by Harry S. Truman. He would ultimately make the decision.
