Cyber Space is also a human space
The latest Sacramento resident to be questioned by federal agents for threatening President Bush is a 14-year-old girl who is passionate about liberal politics and cute movie stars.
Julia Wilson learned a vivid civics lesson Wednesday when two Secret Service agents pulled her out of class to ask about comments and images she posted on MySpace.
Beneath the words "Kill Bush," Wilson posted a cartoonish photo-collage of a knife stabbing the hand of the president. It was one of a few images Wilson said she used to decorate an anti-Bush Web page she moderated on MySpace, the social networking website that is hugely popular among teenagers.
The Secret Service refused to answer questions about the case or even confirm an investigation.
But Wilson's mother, Kirstie, and an assistant principal at McClatchy High said two agents showed them badges stating they were with the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security.
Federal law prohibits making true threats against the president, and Julia and her parents say what she did was wrong.
The couple are disturbed however, that federal agents questioned a child at school without her parents present.
