I had seen this on other blogs- debunking Malkin's paen to internment, but this is incredible!
During World War II, Mineta was evacuated as a young boy from San Jose, Calif., to a relocation camp in Heart Mountain, Wyo. He remains deeply aggrieved about the so-called "Japanese-American internment" and his gross misunderstanding of history continues to blind him to current realities..
Mineta, like most Americans, has been brainwashed into believing that the decision to evacuate the West Coast and relocate ethnic Japanese to the interior of the country was motivated solely by racism and wartime hysteria — rather than bona fide national security concerns.
...The long-hidden truth is that the internment of Japanese, German, Italian and other European enemy aliens, and the mass evacuation and relocation of ethnic Japanese from the West Coast, were not the result of irrational hatred or conspiratorial bigotry. In fact, President Roosevelt's homeland security policies were firmly justified based on the exigencies and intelligence of the time
Now as an op-ed writer for a New York paper, she ought to be familiar with a place called "Yorkville," from which Germans were not interred.
The gall of Malkin to call a former internee "brainwashed" simply boggles the mind.
Some links to clear the air of Malkin's foul stench...
"Is that legal" is a good place to start...
