A SCHOOLGIRL was quizzed by Secret Service agents after posting anti-George W. Bush comments on a popular Internet chat room, a US newspaper has reported.
Julia Wilson, described as a freckle-nosed 14-year-old who wears braces and has a love heart on her school backpack, was yanked out of a biology class at her school in Sacramento, California to answer agents' questions.
The Sacramento Bee newspaper reported that she posted a cartoon photo collage of a knife stabbing President George W. Bush's hand beneath the words "Kill Bush" on MySpace, which is hugely popular amongst teens.
It was one of several images the teenager had used to decorate an anti-Bush page on the website – and prompted a visit to McClatchy High School by agents from the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security.
"I told them I just really don't agree with Bush's politics," the schoolgirl told the newspaper.
"I don't have any plans of harming Bush in any way. I'm very peaceful; I just don't like Bush."
Wilson's father, Jim Moose, said security services had over-reacted.
"I don't condone what she did, but it seems a little over the top to me," he said.
"You'd think they could look at the situation and determine that she's not a credible threat."
The Secret Service refused to answer questions about the case or even confirm an investigation, the Bee reported.

Let that be a lesson to all of you about our fascist police-state. As for myself, I have turned to Gregorian chants and am perusing Judge Andrew Napolitano's book, The Constitution in Exile.
