Secret Service Visits Man After Letter To Editor
Man Says Wrong Man Was Hanged

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Some might say Dan Tilli's letters to the editor threaten conservative values. The Secret Service briefly worried that the 81-year-old's words threatened President George W. Bush.

Tilli's letter published in Monday's edition of The Express-Times of Easton earned him a visit from a pair of Secret Service agents.

The letter referenced the execution of Saddam Hussein and ended with the line, "I still believe they hanged the wrong man." There was no mention of a threat to Bush.
The government apparently saw that as a potential threat toward the president....

Do you think the Secret Service overreacted when they visited and interrogated an 81-year-old man about his letter to the editor of a local newspaper?
