14 year Old Questioned for online Bush threats
http://www.rawstory.com/showoutarticle.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Ftech%2Fnews%2F2006-10-16-bush-myspace_x.htm%3FPOE%3DTECISVA

Teen questioned for online Bush threats

ACRAMENTO — Upset by the war in Iraq, Julia Wilson vented her frustrations with President Bush last spring on her Web page on MySpace.com. She posted a picture of the president, scrawled "Kill Bush" across the top and drew a dagger stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her page on the social-networking site after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense.
It was too late.

Federal authorities had found the page and placed Wilson on their checklist. They finally reached her this week in her molecular biology class.

The 14-year-old freshman was taken out of class Wednesday and questioned for about 15 minutes by two Secret Service agents. The incident has upset her parents, who said the agents should have included them when they questioned their daughter.

9. come on now
Once the gestapo found out it's really a 14 year old girl and not some "Islamo-fascist" assassin, they should of dropped it and went on to more important things.

2. Can't fault the Secret Service for following up
but they should of had her parents with her. More intimidation if you ask me.

7. You know if the Government would spend half the time
that they spend on tracking down 14 year old girls, anti-war churches and organizations and actually doing their fucking job they might be able to catch a terrorist or two taking flight lessons and not wanting to learn how to land.....just sayin....
