This, to me, is truly frightening. The artistic merit of drawing Bush as a devil isnt the point to me, but that the secret service will "interview" a 15 year old for producing art that is critical of the leader... this is a truly Orwellian image.
And the really frightening thing to me is that these things happen, and they come out, and people are shocked... but no one stops them, no one stands up and does anything, and piece by piece they take our freedoms away.

Secret Service Probes Boy's Art Depicting Bush As Devil
POSTED: 10:37 a.m. EDT April 26, 2004
PROSSER, Wash. -- One drawing showed President George W. Bush's head on a stick. Another depicted Bush as a devil launching a missile.
The drawings by a 15-year-old boy in Prosser were enough to prompt some questions from the Secret Service.
Agents questioned the teen after being called by police. The boy's art teacher told school officials about the drawings, and they called police.
The boy was not arrested. The school district has taken disciplinary action but refused to say what it was.
