Internment camps - Worth Noting - Brief Article

Humanist, Sept-Oct, 2002 by Karen Ann Gajewski

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee wants Peter Kirsanow removed from the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. Why? Because on July 19, 2002, he raised the possibility of instituting internment camps for the mass detention of Arab Americans in the event of further attacks on the United States. If such attacks occur, he argues, "There will be a groundswell of public opinion to banish civil rights."
