"Report confirms terror dry run"

In 1941 that actually happened, the Japanese US citizens and non- citizens were put into concentration camps. If there were a similar action and declaration of war against any country, I would imagine some kind of effect on any of that ethnic or religous affilitation to take place. In fact, in a time of war, you could almost guarantee racial/religous/ethnic profiling. You left Timothy McVie out so you could add "treat all American ex-military as possible terrorists. No, he'd have called Timothy McVeigh a Christian extremist. And by your logic the Japanese were Shinto extremists. I didn't bring up the Japanese, but apparently the US government did exactly that, although they probably could have cared less what the believed in. If he was going after the American military he'd have mentioned Iran Air 655 DaveM You seemed to be grasping here, the Iran Air tragedy was not a premeditated attack, nor was it intentional. |

If there were a similar action and declaration of war against any country, It was wrong then and it would be wrong now. The US government even admitted this later and paid for it.
