Good article. Pipes shows that the idea that the Japanese were interned solely because of their race is typical liberal BS. Liberal girly-men will whine and complain about this but never about the internment of Germans and Italians. The internment of white people never concerns them, after all, only white people can be racist.
The internment of anyone without some probable cause is wrong. I don't know the subject well, but my guess is the japanese internment was widespread, systemic and without any attempt at finding probably cause, while the internment of others was not widespread and I suspect the few who were interned was because of probable cause.
What the jap internment has to do with profiling is beyond me. Profiling is where you give a person a more rigorous investigation as opposed to someone else. Internment is profiling to the point of being judge jury and jailman all in on swoop.
Ok, so some patriotic as hell jap citizen is strolling down the street minding his own business but then is put into an internment camp. Tell me why that this is liberal BS.
By the way, here is a great clinton quote for you "I never made policy SOLELY because of a campaign contribution."
American citizens of German and Italian descent were not interned without having to show probable cause. American citizens of Japanese descent were.
You'd better thank God that Bubba Clinton didn't take this line of reasoning on April 19th, 1995, because otherwise you'd still be in "temporary emergency detention" as a "radical right-wing extremist."
BTW, are you calling our own Congressman Billybob a liberal girly-man?
