Norm, please go to the link that Aristeides provided in hisreply #5, "David D. Lowman, Magic: The Untold Story of U.S. Intelligence and the Evacuation of Japanese Residents from the West Coast during WW II." 5 posted on 02/06/2003 8:21 AM PST by aristeides
Norm, I just finished reading this book, and there were big time security reasons for what was done. We had cracked the Japanese Embassy codes before Pearl Harbor.
The Imperial Japanese had set up and financed an incredible network of spies and potential agents from Canada to Chili.
If we arrested just these spies and agents, they would know that we had cracked their embassy codes. So basically every country from Canada to Chili rounded all the Japanese and moved them away from prime coast areas. It was not just the evil USA that did this to survive.
The treatment of the Japanese by Canada, Mexico and Chili made our internment camps look like Scout camps. One of the best kept secrets is the response of Canada, Mexico and Chili. The trial lawyers and the lobby that have made billions from this don't want that fact known. Nor do they want this book's data and the facts from the broken codes known.
Every conservative should read this book.
I want to thank Swarthy Guy for recommending this excellent book to me.

Every American should read this book.
Thanks for keeping this book front and center even tho' it's a couple of years+ old by now.
AS the threat level rises, despite the color code staying the same, a successful mass casualty attack in the USA, particularly if done by longterm sleeper jihadi cells, would bring about calls for a Manzanar solution.
It may perhaps be necessary to do it; emotions would be on fire and the security requirements too demanding for half measures.
The firestorm by the usual suspects necessitates Americans know the full and true story of the West Coast roundup.
