To the Editor:
   I am not privy to the raw data. Still, when the head of the president's secret service asserts that there have not been more death threats against president Obama than there were against his predecessors, eyebrows across the country should go up. If our secret service is redefining "death threats" to get the number they want, they are not doing their job. Some of us remember a national security team who insisted they had had no warning of the attacks of 9/11 because they had defined "warning" to give the number they wanted.
