Do you honestly believe that all of the Arab "Americans" who have pledged allegiance to the U.S. and yet have criticized President Bush and the U.S. position on Iraq are good Americans?

Where did I say that? I just don't believe that absent any other information other than that they have Arab backgrounds, that we should be imprisoning them. We shouldn't imprison people in this country just for criticizing President Bush and the U.S. position on Iraq.

I believe in the right of any American, both born and naturalized to experience what it means to be an American.

However, what I'm saying is that the internment that occured in WW2 is understandable because of the close ties of many Japanese-Americans and their relatives in Japan. To my knowledge, they were not mistreated while interred and apologies have been made.

I also would have no problem with intensifying methods of gathering information of Arab-Americans (naturalized) in the time of war.
