The Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 unleashed the full fury of the American government against Japanese Americans, both citizens and immigrants.
The rationale these people were relocated for their own protection was a lie.
The justification used to persuade the American public these people represented a threat to the security of the nation was a lie.
The promise their property, businesses, and homes would be held in safekeeping was a lie.
By late afternoon on 7 December in the cities of the territory of Alaska the FBI began arresting members of the Japanese American business community - mere hours after the attack. Due process was but a pretense. Due process was a lie.
President Bush, on the 50th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, stated, "The internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry was a great injustice, and it will never be repeated."
This was also a lie. It is happening again.
