Congressman supports WWII internment camps

N.C. Congressman OK With Internment Camps
Wed Feb 5, 6:55 PM ET

HIGH POINT, N.C. - A congressman who heads a homeland security subcommittee said on a radio call-in program that he agreed with the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.

A fellow congressman who was interned as a child criticized Coble for his comment on Wednesday, as did advocacy groups.

Rep. Howard Coble, Republican-N.C., made the remark Tuesday on WKZL-FM when a caller suggested Arabs in the United States should be confined.
