George Takei reaction to putting new family prison near site of Japanese-American internment camp.

Following is a link to a story in the on-line Arkansas Democrat-Gazette about George Takei's reaction to the administration considering placing one of the new family prisons near the site of the Rohwer, Arkansas internment camp where he was imprisoned as a child.

This is interesting because the Democrat-Gazette is a really conservative paper. Don't be deceived by the name.
