Removal of Japanese-Americans was couched by the liberals in FDR's cabinet as being for "security" and "protection of the individual". However, the real truth is apparent when one does a thorough analysis of the land, business, and asset conversion following 1942. Look at who and what gained the lands on Bainbridge Island, Washington and Terminal Island, California.

Yep. Figuring out the machinations of FDR, like those of his soulmate Billzebubba, becomes much easier when one recalls the sage advise: "Follow The Money".

Have you done any research on the money trails between FDR and the confiscated land/business holdings of Americans of Japanese descent in 1942-1945?

I've located first-hand information which may show collaboration between conservative Quakers and imprisoned people in Manzanar. It appears that a Quaker program was specifically attempting to get Japanese Americans out of the camps and into schools for education. Furthermore, I have not located successful Japanese-Americans between 60-80 years old who were not touched by the Quaker effort. Still, none of the liberals comment on the Quakers (other than one William Hohri who claims that the Quakers were socialists). Anyone with more info on the Quaker programs to rescue people from the camps should publish info here on the programs involved.
