Why, then, if we were merely trying to "protect" the Japanese-Americans, 
were their homes and businesses confiscated, and why did the government lie 
to the courts and claim proof that these people were carrying out 
surveillance  activities? (Shown later to be completely without proof, but 
the courts declined to act on the matter at the time.)

I love this country, which is the main reason I don't want it to make the 
same mistake again...
