“The fact we can’t even call it for what it really was proves bow unjust it was. They were Concentration Camps.”
Road apples.
“According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
It’s a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
The first stage being “demoralization”. It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.”

Congratulations, you’re a KGB success story.
“Internment makes the bitter pill tolerable. The fact that prisoners weren’t flagrantly abused or neglected doesn’t change the fact either.”
Yes, it most certainly does change your KGB “fact” into something else entirely. The government should have made the internees whole after the war—at least those that turned out not to be spies—but the idea of internment was correct.
“The whole thing is a horrific violation of habeas corpus and a terrible precedent.”
Precedent? Really? Are you actually unaware that Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the war between the states?
That’s pretty basic.
You want to apply a civil war, with open rebellion at hand to people who were rounded up solely based on their ethnicity?
I’m sorry, THAT is road to apples.
Other than you strawman argument about the KGB I fail to see a point. Although I’m sure character assassination and ad hominem attacks are a staple of theirs.
There is no difference between what the British did to the Boers and FDR’s round up of the Japanese. The only thing that FDR didn’t do was neglect the internees to the point of starvation. A low bar to jump if you’re only saying he avoided committing crimes against humanity.
Declare a war against an identifiable enemy and we’ll talk about matters of engaging in war.
