While I appreciate the BS Japanese Americans went through with the 'relocation' -and it was alot- I'm sad to say that I think these (few?) are being hyper-sensitive.
I've studied up on and been to Manzanar and Tule Lake (the location anyway, as nothing remains). The irony of sending their sons to war with the 442nd while their sisters and parents made camoflauge in these camps. No German or Italian Americans were placed in camps on the east coast -where many acts of sabotage happened, while none happened on the west coast. Selling almost everything you own for pennies on the dollar -their homes too- because folks knew they could take advantage of them leaving soon, etc etc etc.
And the way the Japanese-Americans dealt with this injustice is remarkable...
Even so, I think Saltzmans position on the JTTF was correct and respectfully disagree with the few Japanese Americans who found his words hurtful.

Are we not the only fairly large metro area in the US to not be a part of the JTTF?
I don't see the argument still as an "either Civil Liberties or National Security". I think it is far too easy to frame the debate that way. Brandon Mayfield or 9/11.
I would think with the assasination of Bin Laden and the increased threats to the US we have heard that if I was a terrorist I would be looking at somewhere like PDX.
But I would hope we wouldn't have to live our lives in fear.
Yes, the FBI has done horrible things. So have the Police.
But it was FDR, still considered one of our finest Presidents, who authorized and signed Exectutive Order 9066, which sent the Japanese Americans to 'relocation' camps.
