Guess we're not

Under the hed "Not as brave as we used to be" David Kurtz posts this at TPM:

Number of Gitmo detainees that the GOP hopes to keep off mainland U.S. soil with its "Keep Terrorists Out Of America Act": roughly 250.

Number of Axis POWs detained in camps on the U.S. mainland at the end of WWII: roughly 425,000.

Rachel Maddow had a funny segment on this last night. Unfortunately, she didn't bring up the Axis POWs. She did, however, mention all the bombers and serial killers we currently have in our prisons.
