So that means it was ok and considered proper AT THE TIME?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.
People loved FDR and only through the prism of time and CHANGED sensitivities was he considered an asshole on his issue.
Thank you for the clarification.
Please seat yourself.
