That's a nice way to be protected from "revenge" for something you didn't do: have your whole family imprisoned in grim surroundings, and no provisions made to protect your family's home, business, farm, during the time you are being so solicitously "protected," so that when you and your children and wife are finally released, all the work of your life has been destroyed, and perhaps the accumulated work of your parents and grandparents, too. It would have been nice of the government, in their spasm of protectiveness of these citizens, to "protect" their homes for them, their livelihoods, while they were in Protecto-Prison! There is no evidence whatever that locking up those families increased our security in time of war. You like to think so, for some reason, but the Justice Department, the FBI, and Army intelligence all opposed it, and all you have to do to figure out how such a thing happened to loyal, law-abiding, hardworking American citizens, in America, is to read some of the vicious, hysterical, racially-based comments of the time. "A Jap's a Jap" was General DeWitt's analysis. Dithers has never responded to my question about why it was that none of the Japanese who lived in Hawaii had to be locked up and impoverished. Wasn't our security very threatened by all those people working so hard in Hawaii? I don't believe Dithers ever explained why my Grandparents, all of whom who were blond people born in Germany, weren't arrested. Maybe you can.

Re increasing our country's security? Don't miss this, though it was kept secret from Americans. I suppose you and Dithers will now tell us why it was right and just to keep it secret, and that keeping it secret shouldn't be "judged"? "Two months before Pearl Harbor the United States State Department sent a special investigator, Curtis B. Munson, to report on the disposition of the Japanese American communities on the West Coast and Hawaii. Munson’s final confidential report to the President and the Secretary of State remained a secret until 1946. According to Munson Japanese Americans possessed an extraordinary degree of loyalty to the United States and immigrant Japanese were of no danger to our nation. Munson’s findings were corroborated by the FBI and Navy Intelligence who had kept the Japanese American population under secret surveillance for a number of years. These reports were all kept secret from the American public." yale.edu
