4月28日付、「Boston Globe」により。
4月26日、マサチューセッツ州ケンブリッジでロバート・ミューラーFBI長官の講演会が開催されたが、ミューラーが国家安全保障と市民の自由について言及していた時、４人のハーバード大学学部生が、「FBIは殺し屋だ！」「FBIはテロリズムと同義語だ！」「グアンタナモ基地を閉鎖しろ！」などと大声で叫び、講演会を妨害したとの罪で逮捕された。４人は１ヶ月間の服役と５０ドルの罰金を言い渡された。
この中の二人は、「表現の自由により無実」「警察が言っているように、FBIを殺し屋だとはいっていない」と主張している。後の二人は、電話でのインタビューには答えなかった。またこの中の二人は、ハーバード大学学生新聞のスタッフでもあるとのこと。

4 Harvard students arrested during speech
By Maria Sacchetti, Globe Staff | April 28, 2007
Four Harvard University undergraduates were arrested Thursday night when their shouts of protest interrupted a speech by FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III in Cambridge.
Alerts Mueller was minutes into his talk about the balance of national security and civil liberties when the students erupted in shouts, including "The FBI are murderers," "The FBI equals terrorism," and "Close Guantanamo," according to police and news reports.
Michael Gould-Wartofsky , Kelly Lee , and Maura Roosevelt , all 22 years old, and Jennifer Provost , 21, were arrested and charged with disturbing a public assembly, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a month in prison and a $50 fine.
Two protesters, Provost and Lee, said yesterday they were not guilty. They said they were simply exercising their right to free speech. Both students said they never called the FBI "murderers," or linked them to terrorism, as police alleged.
"I wasn't trying to cause a sustained disturbance," said Provost. The other two students did not return telephone calls by deadline last night.
The students could face disciplinary sanctions from the university, said Joe Wrinn, a Harvard spokesman.
Gould-Wartofsky and Provost are staff members of the student newspaper, The Harvard Crimson. The Crimson's president, Kristina M. Moore, said yesterday that they had not been active on the newspaper for at least a year.
"We understand the arguments of our critics," Mueller said in his remarks, "because when it comes to civil liberties, we share common ground. Their job is to speak out because they believe deeply that our liberties are precious and must be protected. So do we."
