Internment camps for US citizens--good idea?
The following link points to an editorial in today's Rocky Mountain News. It's the first I've heard of people arguing that US internment camps have been (and might be?) good. What the hell is this country coming to?

It did wonders for the Japanese-American community on the west coast.

...I wonder if the "potential for disloyalty" has an inverse relationship to the predominant ideology in power.

A recent survey showed a majority of Americans agree with the idea.

I wonder if Bin Laden is getting a swelled head by now. Every time something like this comes up, it's nothing more than a concession to the power he wields over America.

The bad news is our civil liberties are being stripped away.

The good news is we have the Fox news network to save us.



Man the lifeboats!

In general, I think its a terrible idea. If we were actually being invaded and there was some sort of ethnic insurgency, it would be justifiable. But under the present circumstances (or those during WWII) it is just an incredible idea for free people to consider.

Justifiable to detain American citizens based on race or ethnicity? You are a fascist.

I did read what you wrote, dumbass. I see no difference in your opinion and that of the average German towards the Jews during World War II.

Egad. Reviving internment camps is the worst idea I can imagine.

KV, do you have a link to this survey you mentioned?
