There was absolutely no reason to imprison Japanese Americans; not even a bit of evidence.Misty » 16 Dec 2014 10:24 am » wrote: Did FDR torture people?
President Jimmy Carter opened an investigation to determine whether the decision to put Japanese Americans into internment camps had been justified by the government.
And in 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Civil Liberties Act, which apologized for the internment on behalf of the U.S. government and authorized a payment of $20,000 to each individual camp survivor.
Today the decision by FDR to intern the Japanese is looked upon as a blemish on his record, just like BushCo.'s decision to torture people will be.
We got mountains of intel from waterboarding and harsh interrogations, and as high CIA officials stated, thousands of lives were saved.
Further, even worse torture happened under Clinton and likely Obama, by outsourcing it to countries where the practices are far, far worse and more widespread.
Didn't hear a peep out of you about that.
So take your self righteous bleating and stick it.
