NC Politics
So here's the story, for those of y'all out of state: recently, north carolina's representative Howard Coble has been under some fire for comments he made on a radio talk show. Speaking on the internment of japanese americans during ww II, Coble argued that they were placed there for their own protection. When called on the inaccuracy of that remark, Coble said he was just "stating historical facts."
Senator Edwards has issued a statement this week denouncing Coble's remark, and suggesting an apology.
NC congressman Richard Burr (Bush's pick to run against Edwards for the senate seat in '04) now wants Senator Edwards to apologize for demanding an apology.
My outlook on this (that Edwards is in the right and Burr should be told to hush up by mr rove) is informed by a former law professor that reports all this much better than i on his own site. Give it a look.
Indeed, he WROTE A BOOK about the japanese american internment.
