Pennsylvania Man's Letter Brings Secret Service
Posted: Today at 2:53 p.m.
BETHLEHEM, Pa. — An elderly man who wrote in a letter to the editor about Saddam Hussein's execution that "they hanged the wrong man" got a visit from Secret Service agents concerned he was threatening President Bush.
The letter by Dan Tilli, 81, was published in Monday's edition of The Express-Times of Easton, Pennsylvania It ended with the line, "I still believe they hanged the wrong man."
Tilli said the statement was not a threat. "I didn't say who - I could've meant (Osama) bin Laden," he said Friday.
Two Secret Service agents questioned Tilli at his Bethlehem apartment Thursday, briefly searching the place and taking pictures of him, he said.
The Secret Service confirmed the encounter. Bob Slama, special agent in charge of the Secret Service's Philadelphia office, said it was the agency's duty to investigate.
The agents almost immediately decided Tilli was not a threat, Slama said
"We have no further interest in Dan," he said.
Tilli said the agents appeared more relaxed when he dug out a scrapbook containing more than 200 letters that he has written over the years, almost all on political topics.
"He said, 'Keep writing, but just don't make no threats,'" Tilli said of one of the agents.
It wasn't Tilli's first run-in with the federal government over his letter writing. Two FBI agents from Allentown showed up at his home last year about a letter he wrote advocating a civil war to unseat Bush, he said.
Amazing freedom of speech is being tampered with slowly. Can't say anything threatening about the President, can't mention explosives while in an airport, ..etc. I fully understand why you shouldn't speak of these things but really it is limiting our right. What's going on here.

I've been pissed since they outlawed yelling fire in dark theaters

Do you feel the need to mention explosives at the airport?

Doesnt matter what it is.................the explosive comment at an airport is an extreme example and doesnt really hold true...........The airports arent public property they are privately owned.
As far as the secret service coming to fuck with that guy..........its total fucking lame.
This is just another way to intimidate people. "they have no further interest in him" give me a fucking break. If the guy was my age theyd be up his ass. I find it completely ironic that the rules of our society are changed for one single person.
To say something like he said or even if he had said he believed that Bush should be hung is no where near a threat.
A threat is a guy with a fucking uzi in front of the white house. A threat is a guy with a couple hand grenades.
All this proves to me is that they will continue to show you stuff like this in the paper to embed the idea that you have no rights to free speech and that you better not disagree or hate your leader.
You know what this sounds like to me? A tyranny..........Saddam did the same stuff bush is doing...........only Saddam was killing them..........but it wasnt a secret that he was a tyrant.
