my wife was taken in for questioning by the US Secret Service yesterday, in relation to the news article I mentioned last week (or was it the week before). It seems that the Radio Station who pulled the stunt (on both the Army Base AND on my wife and her friends) are trying to use her as the scapegoat, and now the Army Base is ALSO trying to use her as a scapegoat. This really sucks bad - apparently it's the top news story - I'm gonna scout the net to see if I can find more info. They wanted my name and address too. . . motherfuckers

Americans on the board -- do you know a place or phone number where my wife can get advice? Like a Citizen's Advice Bureau. THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE MY WIFE, INNOCENT, THE SCAPE GOAT

Being as it's America she can just sue their ass! Man it fuckin sucks that she's being made the scapegoat though. Maybe it could aid your move to America though? Wife in trouble and you need to be there for her. Then when it all calms down you'll be resident in the country already and it'll be much easier to be allowed to stay. Well in an ideal world anyway.

I'll briefly recap -- Bush was visiting AZ... my wife's friend was asked by the radio station to go the Army Base and interview him and take pictures. They were assured they would get press credentials and permission. Both Lies. So, they got on the camp, and finally it was noticed they had no credentials, and they were escorted from the premises. Now, the Radio Station, KRQ, is trying to pin the blame on my wife and her friend.

Kafka was a writer - his famous novel, The Trial, concerns a man who is arrested one morning for no reason, and put on trial.
I have emailed the two Arizonan Senators, the Arizonan Governor, the President, and the Vice President.

I don' t know the entire story, but do you not think that your wife is a little somewhat responsible for her actions....afterall she isnt a reporter, and OK she was 'set up'.....but I'm sure she was aware of a certain degree of risk in this matter. Security is taken considerably serious as of late, you can't blame them for taking such actions can you?

She is 20 years old. She was given a camera and told to go take some photographs. When she got to the Air Force Base, she was given a Press Pass. She is entirely blameless.
The radio station lied to them. The Air Force Base fucked up by issueing them Passes.

I must admit though, that if someone gave me a camera and said "Go and take some photographs at the Air Force Base" I'd be a bit sceptical.
But good luck anyway

Her friend works for the raidio station - it was him they instructed to interview the President, saying they would pick up press credentials at the Air Force Base. It's easy to dismantle things in retrospect, Chris.
Other Chris - I told my wife to sue the radio station out of existence. I'm not a fan of litigation, but in this case it is justified. She is scared SHITLESS of what might happen to her.

the best course of legal action would simply be to aquire the council of a lawyer, readily found in any phone book.
Call one, and ask for free consultation to get this sorted out, then, the idea to sue the radio station, and that is where the lawyer will get his cut.
She gets out of trouble, and the lawyer will rip the radio station a new one. Defemation of name, lawless intent, they'll fucking make up words to make it seem awful.
I'll let it be said here and now, I am 100% against lawsuits like this, though I always chuckle when radio stations pull shit like this and get fucked.

I have a question Paul. How did the radio station allow your wife to do this. Surely they have their own reporters? If I was the boss of the radio station, I might think that this was nothing to do with us....she isn't an employee. I'm just thinking from the other side of matters. I totally support you both, don't think for one moment that I don't.....I'm just curious.

Jedi Chris - her friend IS employed by the radio station - it isn't CNN-radio you know, it's just a local rock radio station. Her friend was sent along to 'do the interview' and she went along to take photographs for them.
Thanks for the support - I'll pass on the details of those two organisations to my wife - I haven't heard back from her yet.
