Jenna Bush's Bodyguards Rumble in Sain

49 minutes ago

MADRID, Spain - Bodyguards for President Bush (news - web sites)'s daughter were entangled in a fist fight with two men trying to steal a cell phone in southern Spain, a U.S. Embassy official said Tuesday.

The fight happened last Thursday while Jenna Bush was vacationing with some friends in the coastal city of Tarifa, continental Europe's southernmost point and a famous destination for wind surfers, embassy spokesman John Law said.

The 22-year-old Bush was sitting at a hotel terrace when two men tried to steal a cell phone on a nearby table. Law said it wasn't clear to whom the cell phone belonged, but Bush's bodyguards reacted immediately.

One secret service agent punched one of the suspects in the mouth, Law said, adding that he had no other details of the altercation.

He could not confirm reports by state news agency Efe that one of the secret service agents pointed his gun at a suspect.

Jenna Bush was not hurt and did not press charges against the men, who were not arrested, Efe reported.

The men weren't arrested? Because the attempted larceny wasn't successful?! Oh, this is Spain, isn't it?

Apparently not, since the police were called and the guys were in custody.

Most important to me, these agents were thinking and reacting correctly. I don't think it was Jenna's phone, but someone else's. Since a common technique is to use cell phone signals to detonate bombs, I think they were correct in grabbing those two guys and that cell phone.

I can certainly think of safer, friendlier places for her to vacation.
