E, this is much ado about nothing. Life is not an episode of the Sopranos. I mean really, did you just try to justify something in your argument by citing something from a TV show? That is what you use to back up arguments? An episode of the Sopranos?

Aren't you the poster who defended throwing the innocent Japanese citizens into camps during the second world war even though not a single one was ever shown to have done anything wrong and J. Edgar Hoover disapproved? Not I, but I do not recall a single act of sabotage performed by a Japanese citizen in the U.S. during WW2. Could this have been because the pre-planted possible saboteurs were all swiftly incarcerated and those who might have perpetated acts of sabotage were unable to do so. The liberal left loonies of today have indulged in self-flaggelation over an act that may well have saved lives of many American citizens and even our men in battle. We now suffer from this left induced remorse by failing to more closely investigate those citizens from the terrorist countries who may do us harm. KM

It's certainly heartening to see all these wingnuts leaping to the defense of lesbianism! Pretty soon they'll be for lesbian marriage!

Nice segue, E. The Japanese internment has always interested me. Since it interests you enough to bring it up out of nowhere, I would recommend two recent books: "MAGIC" by David Lowman, and "In Defense of Internment" by Michel Malkin. These books document the surprisingly extensive penetration of the west-coast Japanese-American community by Japan's military intelligence in WWII. They give persuasive arguments as to the justifications of the internment. You should read these books with an open mind, asking yourself, "How come my forbearers in 1941 could not see the injustice of locking up these good American citizens?" These books will give you a contemporaneous insight beyond the current liberal mantras on the matter. I don't think we can or should make contemporary second-guesses on such an event when we have the benefit of knowing many facts that were not known at the time. Also a plan and its execution are two entirely different matters, as we saw with the Iraqi prisoners. As to the bulges, yes, I see bulges. If we only have those photographs, then it falls into the category of UFO sightings. "What IS that thing in the picture?" It's gone, so we will never know. The bulge could be many things, a heat pad for example, or a dressing on a wound. Or it could be nothing, a jacket-wrinkle or an optical illusion. The questions I posed to you suggest that I find the electronic theory to be preposterous for a host of reasons. You and others will see what you choose to see. That is not an insult, merely a fact of life.
