Just as an endnote, Shibata Shihan is no longer affiliated with the USAF and has affiliated directly with the Aikikai Hombu.
The USAF-West website has removed his dojo from their pages and lists Shibata Shihan's seminars as "cancelled", with a big red line through them.
I suspect that a part of this might stem from some of the things discussed above but nobody is talking.
