Gah, you can't make this shit up.
SACRAMENTO — Upset by the war in Iraq, Julia Wilson vented her frustrations with President Bush last spring on her Web page on MySpace.com. She posted a picture of the president, scrawled "Kill Bush" across the top and drew a dagger stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her page on the social-networking site after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense.
It was too late.
Federal authorities had found the page and placed Wilson on their checklist. They finally reached her this week in her molecular biology class.

"I wasn't dangerous. I mean, look at what's (stenciled) on my backpack — it's a heart. I'm a very peace-loving person," said Wilson, an honor student who describes herself as politically passionate. "I'm against the war in Iraq. I'm not going to kill the president."
Aside from anything else, it took them six fucking months to track her down? Or they're looking at cached pages? Good work, guys! Good thing she wasn't building a fertilizer bomb in a Hello Kitty backpack or something.
They're scared of grandmothers and honor students. Period.
(Is it me, or does that pic have a Charlotte's Web vibe to it?)
