I know what your stance would have been with regard to what was done to the innocent Japanese in those camps, don't I? Be the first on your block to tell me why it was okay not to imprison and impoverish Japanese families in Hawaii? How about telling me why it was okay not to protect their homes, farms, businesses? Why it was okay to send them to places like this: Message 20766688 If it was a matter of "the security of our country," even though the Justice Department and FBI and Army Intelligence didn't think so, why weren't the assets of these people protected? And there is actually some evidence that was kept secret (!) on the subject of Japanese-American loyalty:! "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
