Who has political immunity? It's not good enough. How and why does one person who "acted alone" receive official secrecy? It's time the known "lone wolves" were packed off out of our country. This kind of extremism has never been part of our culture and the Government has no right to impose it on us. Diverse peoples are welcome here, but not if they bring their problems with them. There needs to be more respect for OUR values from immigrant ethnicities and religions and instead of spending millions watching the "bad buggers", maybe we should be doing more to promote understanding of our culture as well as understanding of immigrant cultures.
