SACRAMENTO — Civil rights groups criticized the FBI and a suburban school district Thursday for allowing federal agents this fall to question a 16-year-old high school student who had doodled "PLO" on his binder two years ago.

A pair of FBI agents interviewed Munir Mario Rashed, a junior at Calvine High School, about the Palestine Liberation Organization and whether he had pictures of suicide bombers stored on his cellphone.

Munir, a fourth-generation Palestinian American, said he told agents that the only photo he carried on his phone's screen was of a mosque.

"I was scared," he said Thursday, recalling the Sept. 27 meeting. "I didn't know what was going on or what I had done wrong."

The lawyers are saying the district violated its own policy by not notifying parents before a minor speaks to law enforcement. If it were my son, I'd be furious.

preparing stories?

We are left to believe that as long as this right-wing sociopath continues to squat in the White House, and the Congress is dominated by right-wing imbeciles we're just lucky it isn't even worse than it is.

Occassionally a stray idiot will remind us we're so lucky to live in a country with free speech, that people in other countries are not allowed to speak out about anything.

It's time to remind them of all the examples we've seen like this since _Bush stole the pResidency. This is a clear symptom something has gone really bad.

We can do better than this.

By the way. How many people are aware that a lot of college teachers dispaired of the power placed in their hands during the VietNam war, knowing that when students flunked out, they'd lose their deferments and they would be automatically eligible for the draft? Some really didn't want that dreadful responsibility.

Now we've got sadistic "patriots" who are only too happy to turn others in. Is this progress?

This from someone who thinks Cuban dissidents are traitors.

Saw the comment in your profile.

If the shoe fits.

Immediately resorting to name-calling to avoid any discussion of uncomfortable issues.

Seems like you're the one insulting others, not being attacked.

Please clarified your remark or STFU

oy vey...

neo nazi incidents, leaving pamphlets on cars, spray painting racial epithets on garage doors and to my knowledge not a one them has been questioned by the FBI. This town pisses me off. This town is run by developers and we are represented by a complete and utter idiot in congress.
