I'm sick and tired of revisionists, trying to apply today's standards to things that were done in the past. It is a concerted effort to bring us to "Year Zero", which is precisely what the Khmer Rouge did.
I hear you but the revisionist crap only works on the uninformed.
I suppose there are plenty of the fools around though,right?
From an article by one of Warren's USSC law clerks:
In 1942 he called the presence of the Japanese in California “the Achilles’ heel of the entire civilian defense effort.” He also argued that because no fifth-column activities and no sabotage had been reported a “studied effort” at sabotage was taking place. Warren felt that “when we are dealing with the Caucasian race we have methods that will test [their] loyalty,” but “when we deal with the Japanese we are in an entirely different field” because of “their method of living.”
Just about every closet has its skeletons. But an article criticizing convenient omissions should police its own yard first. Is the writer aware of this "enlightened" sentiment by a Republican contemporary of FDR?
