While the incarceration of thousands of Japanese American’s was a violation of their civil rights..evidence exists that overseas Japanese did in fact aid the Japanese war machine with information in Malaysia and elsewhere when the Japanese invaded. We simply could not figure out who might have been a spy.
We have a similiar problem today with the Chinese and some other immigrant groups. It is impossible to know who is giving away our secrets.
This week’s report in the Washington Times cites a native-born American working for the Pentagon as someone who attempted to sell classfied documents to China.
Actually, many of us in the Chinese community have an inkling who would turn on this country and seldom socialize with them. According to a relative who works for the FBI, there have been certain “tells.” This is how they caught the guy earlier this year in the Chicago suburbs just as he was heading for O’Hare airport. The one-way ticket to Shanghai was probably the most obvious.
Also, Chinese government personnel who are sympathetic with the West as well as people like yours truly have aided local FBI offices with useful information. My reward was a personal tour of FBI HQ by one of the Academy instructors. This along with a personal tour of the Pentagon by the CO of 8th and I will be a highlight in my traveling life.
The guilty party is the Kenyan pres _ _ ent who is illegally occupying our White House.
We actually did know that there were a number of Japanese spies. But the way we knew was that we had broken the Jap codes, and they might have realized that if all their agents were suddenly arrested. So we had to round up all the Japanese and prevent them from aiding Japan.
I understand what you are saying, but that is wrong. It is possible. The lesson I take away from is that of dealing with the Apaches. We could not beat them until we had Apaches on our side. It's the same with Chinese, the Arabs, the IRA-types, the Russians, on and on.
The BIGGEST flaws in our security have ALWAYS been from within those social groups we thought, by default, that "we" somehow magically knew could be trusted. Say, like the Walkers.
