- This question was asked, I assume, in reference to where or not 1/3 of the
- people were really not US citizens. While I don't have the numbers handy I
- remember that about 40,000 of those incarcerated were not US citizens. If Gann
- is still around he can probably verify the number for us.

-
- In actuality the American government called all people of Japanese citizenship
- enemy aliens. "Enemy" refers to the fact that the nation Japan was an enemy.
