Do We Need to Bring Back Internment Camps?<\/a><\/h3>\n

Last week, Retired General Wesley Clark, who was NATO commander during the US bombing of Serbia, proposed that \u201cdisloyal Americans\u201d be sent to internment camps for the \u201cduration of the conflict.\u201d Discussing the recent military base shootings in Chattanooga, TN, in which five US service members were killed, Clark recalled the internment of American citizens during World War II who were merely suspected of having Nazi sympathies. He said: \u201cback then we didn\u2019t say \u2018that was freedom of speech,\u2019 we put him in a camp.\u201d<\/p>\n

He called for the government to identify people most likely to be radicalized so we can \u201ccut this off at the beginning.\u201d That sounds like \u201cpre-crime\u201d!<\/p>\n

Gen. Clark ran for president in 2004 and it\u2019s probably a good thing he didn\u2019t win considering what seems to be his disregard for the Constitution. Unfortunately in the current presidential race Donald Trump even one-upped Clark, stating recently that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is a traitor and should be treated like one, implying that the government should kill him.<\/p>\n

These statements and others like them most likely reflect the frustration felt in Washington over a 15 year war on terror where there has been no victory and where we actually seem worse off than when we started. The real problem is they will argue and bicker over changing tactics but their interventionist strategy remains the same.<\/p>\n

Retired Army Gen. Mike Flynn, who was head of the Defense Intelligence Agency during the US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, told al-Jazeera this week that US drones create more terrorists than they kill. He said: \u201cThe more weapons we give, the more bombs we drop, that just \u2026 fuels the conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still Washington pursues the same strategy while expecting different results.
