| The US government has already been detaining people simply because
| they are of "middle eastern descent".  There was quite an uproar in
| Southern California about this, and not by the people who are in
| danger (because they're afraid of the consequences) but from other
| citizens who are appalled by the police-state tactics.
|
| There have actually been a number of politicians who have suggested
| we need to re-institute internment camps, just like we had in WWII.
|
| According to most historians, that was a pretty dark day in the US's
| history, and here we have "community leaders" merrilly suggesting we
| do it again.

seems as if your allegations above are a little shy of specifics. which 
politicians have been suggesting the camps? where are the citations 
thereof? who are the most historians of whom you speak, and where do 
historians register their view so that we can know that all historians 
have been heard?

i'm not at all certain that anything except the reputation of california 
is cemented by repeating wild and generally erroneous doobietalk of the 
sort you have proffered.
