I've never heard the WWII Internment camps being called "death camps" either. I have heard the term "concentration camp", and in fact the U.S. Government did actually at times refer to the camps as "concentration camps" (rarely, and of course, this was probably before the public realized what was going on in Nazi "concentration camps"). I guess that Michelle Malkin/'s publisher is claiming that people are calling the WWII American Internment camps, "Death Camps" because the term "Concentration Camp" is used. re: "But any claim they were death camps is hooey. Most of the people who went in came out alive. There wasn't an intention to kill them."
