Malkin Seeps Upward?

By Eric Muller

This looks worrisome. If Stephen Griffin's characterization of a passage from Jack Goldsmith's and Curt Bradley's foreign-relations-law casebook is correct, these two top scholars have fallen into the Michelle Malkin trap of crediting supposed "intelligence" supporting the Japanese American incarceration in World War II and of depicting the incarceration program as wrong only in hindsight. If this is so (I'm on the road right now and don't have access to the casebook to check), it would be a distressing upward seepage of these discredited ideas into the work of serious and influential scholars. I'm on the road, and won't have a chance to look at the casebook until tomorrow. I'll have more then.
