I'm sure you wouldn't be saying that if the US decided to march through the Netherlands tomorrow to protect us from an "imagined threat."

What the hell is your problem with my statement?

<i>Nice that the Japanese internment camps were mentioned. That goes to show that during times of war, the US government does some things that might not be good for *some* people, to protect the rest (be that protection real or imagined). </i>

It is a FACT that the US government has the legal power (on a national level) to detain certain suspect individuals in times of war, and it is a FACT that it has used these powers in the past, whether it was justified or not. I was JUST STATING THE FACTS.
It is true that I support the internment of selected terrorist suspects, but that's quite irrelevant to this sub-discussion.
And your statement about the US marching into the Netherlands is also irrelevant, because that has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion. You know full well that I wouldn't support that. You also know that this discussion is about the US imprisoning terror suspects, not about the US invading another country.
