NO!
This is dangerous for so many reasons.
1) anything written is open to interpretation.
2) people write things all the time, then change their minds.
3) people don't always express themselves the way they want.
4) where does it end? what are and aren't you allowed to say? what is
considered a threat
Having said all that, I agree that giving an email the subject line of 'Kill
the President' is rather stoopid, although the content of the email, once
read, clearly indicated that this was not so much a 'call to action' as a
speculation as to a possible outcome of Bush Jnr's policies.

Note..I made a point of PRIVATE email between individuals.
:)
Not a message posted on a messageboard, but a message placed in an envelope
and mailed to a specific individual, or a call
placed to that individuals private phone, as opposed to shouted across a
street with a bullhorn.
Those are the analogies to the situation I described with a private email
correspondence.
Would you think the government has the right to open, photocopy your letter,
and file it away?
Or record the phone conversation you had and file it away for later
reference if it ever becomes necessary?

What about it? If I post a message on a real bulletin board (ie, the cork
board variety), there is nothing stoping anyone from 'saving' those messages
for years. Well, nothing but a life I guess.
