  1. This has another even nastier possibility. The US military started recruiting Japanese Americans for radio intercept activities as early as 1940. The Japanese military still used uncoded radio communications even into the early months of the war because they thought that the US wasn't able to understand the language (the Imperial Japanese Navy did use effective codes however for its operations). Was the incarceration meant to hide that usage is a question that I wonder about? I don't know; but the camps began to be phased out by the middle of the war when such secrecy became less important. Add this to racism and economic envy and you have a very poisonous mixture.
