There's an article about the internment of the Japanese in the current Chronicles magazine. Apparently Magic intercepts (our decryption program of Japanese messages) showed that many Japanese in this country were cooperating with Japanese intelligence. (The article doesn't list published sources -- does anybody know if these intercepts are published some place? I'd like to like at them, particularly with reference to what they tell us about Pearl Harbor.) In any case, this is the first I've seen of this. The American public certainly wasn't told this at the time. And the internment of the Japanese nevertheless had great popular support.

One nation under God...

Looks like it will pass... only 1 democrat vote against it so far!

Interesting re Japanese intercepts of people in this country cooperating with the Japanese. We have never been told this, to my knowledge. And to think after 9/11, there was talk about how we mustn't mis-treat the Muslim community in America the way we "mis-treated" the Japanese. War is hell, and everybody pays in some way or other. Besides, we haven't exactly heard a lot of outrage about how their religion has been "hijacked" from the Muslim community living here. They need to get on board.
