“What i meant was that just as FDR ordered the interment of Jap-Americans due to the threat they potential posed”
Well that’s not exactly the whole story. The West Coast internment was done so that a hundred or so Japanese-American spies and saboteurs could be rounded up without tipping off the fact that we knew who they were. Our knowledge of them was hidden by the larger internment.
If we had arrested only the 100 then Japan would have wondered how we knew about them. And they eventually would have realized that we had broken the Japanese Naval Code. The MAGIC intercepts. This was a prize equal in value to the atomic bomb and wasn’t going to be put at risk.
Not to get off point here, but I was just making a comment that Democrats have done things that they would eviscerate a Republican for doing.
Then again, a typical Liberal thinks that Jim Crow Laws, the KKK and opposition to the Civil Rights Act were Republican ideas.
I see. Very informative! Meanwhile, the Japanese were bewildered by the Navajo code talkers.
Never heard that MAGIC-internment coverup theory before. Fascinating. Similar to why Churchill didn’t bomb the death camp railroads.
