The New	York Times decided that	the report to congress on the
imprisonment of	Japanese during	WW2 rated a front page story.  I
read the article, and as nearly	as I could tell	the commission
had nothing new	to say about the subject.  This	left me	wondering
why this was such important news.  So my question is:  For all of
you who	studied	WW2 in history classes,	how was	the internment of
the Jpanese dealt with?	 Was it	described as a major violation of
civil liberties?  Or was it portrayed as a "military necessity?"
Or was all mention of it simply	suppressed?

As usual, responses mailed to me will be summarized to the net.
