“Japanese internment was a cynical political move by FDR; even J. Edgar Hoover opposed it. Ronald Reagan formally denounced it. The instant Higbie mentioned it as a precedent for a Muslim registry I knew that it would be misconstrued. Conservatives should be able to relate when they consider how well they react to calls for a national gun registry.”
While it may be viewed as a “cynical” move, it was the correct and just move. The internment did prevent sabotage and spying and protected the west coast. The magic intercepts certainly lend credence to a spy ring among the Japanese on the west coast.
