Actually, German Americans were interred also, here's one quick link:
http://www.foitimes.com/internment/
And here's one about Italian internment:
http://www.serve.com/shea/germusa/itintern.htm
By the way, these were the 1st links Google showed for
+german +internment
and
+italian +internment
I haven't read these sites to find out details, I just remembered that I
had read about German internment.

Well, when I wrote it, I was thinking of the various political prisoners
detained domestically after 9-11 and those captured in Afghanistan. Now
I agree that some of those probably do deserve to be detained, so let's
see the scoop and have public debate on the reasons, and let those who
we can't articulate a sufficient reason free.
Of course you are right, there are numerous other political detainees.
