>>Is there any documentation to support this, or is this your opinion only ?

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.

>I suspect it may be more accurate to describe them as aliens rather
>than enemy aliens.

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.
