"Letter spurs visit by the Secret Service"

[Oleladylib]

Bethelehem,PA-An elderly man who wrote in letter to the editor about Saddam Hussein's execution that "they hanged the wrong man" got a visit Thursday 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, Pa. 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.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 advocating a civil war to unseat Bush, he said."(Rochester,NY-Democrat and Chronicle-Monday, January 22)

3. Hey, 81 year old men are dangerous

They can kick your ass with some of those larger canes some of them carry. And if they've learned any Karate moves with their walkers - look out!
