Come on, you want me to believe that the US government proved in each case that the individual being detained was collaborating with the Japanese? Give me a break. They detained entire families! If you want to be in denial and claim that everything was fine and dandy, then go ahead. But history is clear - there were obviously rights violations and those are NOT excused in a time of war. Anytime we say "oh it's war, we all need to pitch in and throw our rights out the window", it's one step closer to the totalitarian state. But in any case, the US has compensated the people who were in the camps, so there is a basic settlement of the case. I really have no gripe against the government, I just find it annoying that people claim that nothing was wrong with detaining people based on their ancestry - which is what happened.
