Just a note about “concentration camps”. The British invented them during the Boer war in South Africa. Incarcerating enemy combatants (or anyone just suspected of being an enemy combatant) who wore no uniform and blended into the people of the country. Thus keeping them out of the conflict, essentually POWs. Of course, the US did the same to the Japanese immigrants during WWII for much less reason and the Brits most recent exercise in this type of set up was during the Northern Ireland frackus where about the same number of POWs as are now in Cuba were held in British prisons, some of whom were never convicted of any crime.
So her comment about “concentration camps” is entirely appropriate.
