Why Coble's Remarks Matter
Law Prof Eric Muller of IsThatLegal?, who has been following the Howard Coble/Japanese internment camp controversy, has an oped today in the News and Oberserver-- Coble gets real history really wrong:
This is not some petty academic dispute about a historical footnote. Since Sept. 11, 2001, we have been struggling to preserve our safety while also preserving our freedoms and protecting the rights of the millions of good Americans of Arab ancestry and Muslim faith. Coble's dismissive comments about the largest-scale American human rights violation of the 20th century bear directly on his commitment -- and his ability -- to avoid another one in the 21st.
