The US detained countless Japanese within the US durring world war II. Many years later we realized it was not the right thing to do, apologized, and paid restitution (spelling???).
I'm not going to claim to have the answers but if you look at history taking rights away from anyone, citizen or "alien" has never been a good thing for any society. Why do we have to repeat these mistakes?
i mean about protecting us from terrorism...clinton proved doing nothing doesn't work...you do not agree with W's methods...what do you suggest?
