RE: Diana West, published in today's Rocky Mountain News.

At a time when America is considering allowing thousands of Iraqis to cut into line ahead of illegal immigrants entering America, seeking amnesty through Mexico...oh wait, let me rephrase that.

If 7,000 Iraqis who assisted the coalition led by Tony Blair of Britain and George Bush of the United States will soon come to America, through political asylum, how will these lucky few who wanted a different culture be screened to make sure they are not Islamic extremists?

In the aftermath of Columbine, religion and suicide in Littleton made local news, but experts gave most of the public only truths they thought we could handle. Actually, Columbine is in Jefferson County, Littleton has a different school district, and political conspiracy concealed gross malfeasance. Not that many people were allowed to study evidence collected.

Columbine truths were concealed through political conspiracy to protect sleazy careers. As a result of the concealment, critics outside the political mainstream never studied the evil ranting of our homegrown terrorists, which included concepts such as "hijacking an airliner...filling it with bombs...crashing into New York City".

Terrorists evolved the evil fantasy from the 1998 Columbine website, obviously before our prevention experts did, by simply adding trained suicidal pilots.

Full loads of fuel provided the required heat to melt steel in the World Trade Centers. Any high school physics student could have concluded the result if they had studied the question. We never asked the question.

Amazingly, Condoleezza Rice said, in the aftermath of 9-11 that, "we never considered the idea of a hijacked airliner as a guided missile". Where do "experts" on terrorism study? We can't handle truths if only politicians are allowed access.

Politicians talk only to one another if we let them.

Diana West said a Pew research survey shows that 26% of Muslims "already in America" believe suicidal bombings are acceptable in defense of Islam.

The Columbine killers said in their "basement confession tapes" (which a federal judge sealed for 25 years just weeks prior to the Virginia Tech copycat-murders) that they had, "evolved beyond humanity" and that their "revenge for the January Incident would be Godlike". Is this not a similar attitude, based on religious extremism?

The first person shot, when their Improvised Explosive Devices did not detonate in the Columbine lunchroom, was Rachel Joy Scott, whom the Killers had called a "Christianity whore" in the basement tapes, now locked away in secrecy by Colorado politicians. The Virginia Tech killer knew his Columbine history and thus left his confession-manifesto for the media instead of the sheriff. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, prevent no evil? The fourth-monkey syndrome? As for Muslims coming to America, their immigration applications should ask this question; Do you believe God of creation would want the "greatest-of-creation" (presumably humanity) to commit suicidal-terrorism to promote a religion-based culture? No true believer would lie on their immigration application. Sarcasm is no substitute for policy. I apologize.

Thanks to the Washington Post for exposing some truth we must handle if we don't want to one day bow toward loudspeakers promoting a mandatory religion in America. And thanks to the Rocky Mountain News for sharing the perspective of Diana West regarding how some American media has spun reporting to downplay the subject matter.
