"I’m not sure I agree that it was wrong. It was war."

Very true, and the more recent stories about it are full of exaggerations and omissions (i.e., lies).

The problem is that it's very hard to look back and know whether or not it was warranted. There is no control group. We don't know what damage if any was prevented. Clinton had a commission that tried to look backwards and decided that there was little justification to think the people interned were a threat. But apparently the Congress at the time thought they were.
