I don't know how well-known this is, but during World War II, the US Government rounded up hella Japanese-Americans and threw them into military prison camps. These were American citizens, and they were denied of their constitutional rights and liberties. The Japanese-American "internment" (a sanitized word) will forever be a stain on our nation's honor-- and looking at how we've treated out citizens with the outbreak of the war on terror, it's fairly clear that we're willing to suspend our most sacred document and jail people based on the color of their skin during times of war.
Oh please.
