    Cover story could have been more balanced

    Your Dec. 5 cover story about a WG teacher who reflects on his years in a U.S. internment camp after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and written by staff writer Moryt Milo was uncalled for.

    The story ran exactly 60 years after the tragedy.

    You forgot to inform your readers about the Japanese internees receiving $25,000 from the government for their suffering plus an apology from President Bill Clinton. No other group got any of that. You didn't inform your readers about the Bantaam death march nor the slaughter and rape in Nanking, China. Also that one of the most popular U.S. presidents, Franklin D. Roosevelt, must have had a good reason to do so (sign an order requiring all Japanese to give up their homes, land and personal possessions). Right or wrong, it does diversity training great harm.

    To this day, Japan and its people have never acknowledged their aggressive behavior at that time.
