>And may I remind you that the internment of Japanese Americans in the United States during World War II is one of our darkest moments as a country.

Really?
Darkest moment?
Not high on my list of dark moments.
I think that the constitutional approval of slavery was pretty low.
I think we hit a low point during the Civil War where more than half a million people were killed by their fellow countrymen.
As I said, the Japanese military, in anticipation of the war, had planted operatives among the civilian population in the US.
Given that, and the mood after the attack at Pearl Harbor, I can see how officials decided to intern people till they found out who was who.
Not fair, but war is never fair.

If you're looking for dark moments, check out how the Japanese had slaughtered millions of Chinese women and children before we entered the war.
Check out how they treated US GI's on the Bataan death march and performed ritual mutilations on dead GI's.
