U.S. Secret Service Agents Question Sacramento Teen on MySpace Page

Laurel Rosenhall and Ryan Lillis write in The Sacramento Bee:

The latest Sacramento resident to be questioned by federal agents in possible threats against President Bush is a 14-year-old girl with a heart on her backpack and braces on her teeth, a freckle-nosed adolescent who is passionate about liberal politics and cute movie stars.

Her name is Julia Wilson, and she learned a vivid civics lesson Wednesday when two Secret Service agents pulled her out of biology class at McClatchy High School to ask about comments and images she posted on MySpace.

Beneath the words "Kill Bush," Julia posted a cartoonish photo-collage of a knife stabbing the hand of the president. It was one of a few images Julia said she used to decorate an anti-Bush Web page she moderated on MySpace, the social networking Web site that is hugely popular among teenagers.

Can you at least post a warning when linking to sites requiring obnoxious registration (ala NYT)?

My apologies -- I read this article via RSS and there where no subscription requirements that I encountered in that process.

I will try harder. :-)
