they were interned after the attacks as if they were Japanese spys, which of course was ridiculous because applying that logic the Italians and Germans resident in America should have been interned too.
Besides the Italians, my family, the Germans, if you continue on that tract almost all Americans qualified to be put into camps. If applied today, then all Arabs and Persians would be put into camps. How foolish we are to even talk about such a poor policy.
This is supossed to be a free country with a stalwart Constitution, that our Government feels they can violate at the slightest cost, such as the so-called Patriot act. The Feds can break into your house and imprison you with no valid justification or proof of breaking the laws of the constitution.
All the worlds governments from Fed, state, to local are all flawed now. Freedom, real American Freedom is a memory.
it should also be added that some of those detained were American citizens.
