(2003-02-07) Coble Internment

Us Rep Howard Coble, Chairman for Judiciary's Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, made some remarks Feb05 about the internment of Japanese-American US citizens in concentration camps during WW2 - because "it wasn't safe for them to be on the street."... Like most Arab-Americans today, Coble said, most Japanese-Americans during World War II were not America's enemies. Still, Coble said, Roosevelt had to consider the nation's security. "Some probably were intent on doing harm to us," he said, "just as some of these Arab-Americans are probably intent on doing harm to us." Eric Muller is covering this heavily.
