Bush signs bill to preserve internment camps
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush has signed into law a $38 million grant program to preserve notorious internment camps where Japanese-Americans were kept behind barbed wire during World War II.
The money will be administered by the National Park Service to restore and pay for research at 10 camps. The law is intended to help preserve the camps as reminders of how the United States turned on some of its citizens in a time of fear.
The needle on my irony-meter just wrapped itself around the pin seventy-three times! Maybe Bush didn't realize - hell, I'm sure he either doesn't know or doesn't care.
Or maybe he he's preserving the camps against future use.
