Researchers Find Japanese/FDR Interment Cap In Idaho

From the Denver Post: Deep in the mountains of northern Idaho, miles from the nearest town, lies evidence of a little-known portion of a shameful chapter of American history.
There are no buildings, signs or markers to indicate what happened at the site 70 years ago, but researchers sifting through the dirt have found broken porcelain, old medicine bottles and lost artwork identifying the location of the first internment camp where the U.S. government used people of Japanese ancestry as a workforce during World War II. Today, a team of researchers from the University of Idaho wants to make sure the Kooskia Internment Camp isn't forgotten to history.
Research such as the archaeological work underway at Kooskia (KOO'-ski) is vital to remembering what happened, said Janis Wong, director of communications for the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles. People need to be able "to physically see and visit the actual camp locations," Wong said. Giant sites where thousands of people were held—such as Manzanar in California, Heart Mountain in Wyoming and Minidoka in Idaho—are well-known. But Camp said even many local residents knew little about the tiny Kooskia camp, which operated from 1943 to the end of the war and held more than 250 detainees about 30 miles east of its namesake small town, and about 150 miles southeast of Spokane, Wash. The camp was the first place where the government used detainees as a labor crew, putting them into service doing road work on U.S. Highway 12, through the area's rugged mountains. "They built that highway," Camp said of the road that links Lewiston, Idaho, and Missoula, Mont.

And showing how the media is biased in a simple story about history, Franklin Roosevelt, the president who forcibly interred the Japanese in these camps are never mentioned and obviously, FDR's party, the Democratic Party is never mentioned as well.
How pathetic is that?
