Pulled out of class for word with feds
A 14 year old was yanked out of her biology class by FBI agents who interrogated her, without her parents knowing, over the contents of her Myspace web page.
Julia Wilson posted a picture of President George Bush with a dagger stabbing his hand with the words 'Kill Bush' scrawled over it.
Later she pulled it back after learning in her eighth grade history class that such threats are a federal offence.
However she was a bit late and the FBI decided that she was enough of a terror threat to nab her. Apparently the methods of interrogation, which was conducted without calling her parents to be present, reduced the girl to tears.
According to the
Sydney Morning Herald, the girl said that the agents yelled at her a lot and threatened to shove her in a juvenile prison because of her terrorist threat to kill George. Wilson said that they were "unnecessarily mean."
Wilson agreed that the FBI should have questioned her over the page, but said they should have done so after school, with her parents present. Apparently requiring agents to have common sense when evaluating the level of threat to the President's life is not considered an issue.
Laws that require parents to be present when children are questioned by the FBI have never made the statute books in the US. Wilson says she is doing another myspace page devoted to organising other students to protest against the Iraq
here.
