The decrypted messages in MAGIC make it clear that Japanese-Americans were providing the Japanese with military information (ship movements and the like).

Even if this were true, it's clear that not ALL Japanese-Americans were providing the Japanese with military information. I have no problem with prosecuting those Japanese-Americans that were providing the Japanese government with military information. We have had many Caucasian traitors in this country as well - but in their case, we go after the actual people who were traitors; not everyone who happens to look like the traitors. Imprisoning all Japanese-Americans for the acts of a few makes as much sense as imprisoning all Caucasian-Americans for all the serial killers that they have produced. Here in America, (And remember, those Japanese-Americans are AMERICAN citizens) we aren't supposed to imprison people solely because of they way they look.
