Good point, Jack, however that quote could be read two ways. Undoubtedly, the man in question meant it as he wished Bush would "burn", but here is the important part. A. it is open to interpretation B. he did not say anything that could be considered a direct threat to Bush. He didn't say, "I wish George Bush would burn" or "Somebody should get Bush" or anything similar. Detaining or arresting somebody based on an offhanded comment is WAY too similar to last years movie Minority Report being that you are being labeled a criminal before a crime. If he needs to be questioned for security reason, fine. If people can't see that throwing somebody in jail for saying something offhanded which IS his right to freedom of speech, then it's truly wrong. If you say something that could be considered questionable, then I think you should expect to be questioned. I still think you have a resonable expectation however to NOT be thrown in jail for it. Where's the crime in that case???!!! The Constitution is being ripped to pieces by this Jack Ass named Bush. Hell, he's running around telling anybody that will listen that "America will declare war on anybody HE sees fit to declare it on". I don't know if it is true, but supposedly that is quoted from Bush himself. Many pro Bush people have started to use the phrase "Imperium Americanum" equating the US to a modern Roman Empire. European countries are really starting to hate the US. They are pleasant to our face because they feel they have to, but as if the rep of the US was not bad enough, they are starting to consider us a new evil empire...and it's all thanks to Bush Junior.
Sorry I went off on this rant, but it's my opinion. Take it or leave it.
