You assume a lot, Frank.

How do you assume the US knew ALL the spies?

They didn't. And putting the Japanese-americans into camps did nothing
(or at least very little) to catch the spies. There were several native
born americans spying for the Japanese.

I refer you to "Shadows Dancing: Japanese Espionage Against the West,
1939-1945" by Tony Matthews. There is an example of what I'm refering to
in a on-line review of this book at

Many, many lives were saved by the interment. Just like the millions of
lives saved by the atom bomb being dropped.

Maybe, maybe not. Such arguements are difficult to prove and I won't
attempt to debate it. My only point is that 'rounding up' a whole ethic
class to catch a few potential spies is counter productive from an
intelligence stand point.

Frank, you really should go to New York and check out ground zero, instead
of hanging out in the last bastion of the hippies, Oregon!

I've been to ground zero. I lost aquaintances on 9/11. Your ad homin
point is not well received and I think my involvement in this thread is
over.
