To the Editor:

I don’t know who chooses Associated Press articles to be placed in the Northwest Herald, but “Imprisoned jihadists letters stunningly hip” article is stunningly inappropriate. According to the article, this Osama bin Laden associate, now in Gitmo, has an “incredibly good sense of humor,” is “intelligent” and likes the song “Gangnam Style.”

Really? I wonder how impressed Sept. 11 families are with this wonderfully human man. It is no wonder that the Northwest Herald is a mere shadow of its former self. And, on a personal note, I could do without Associated Press articles entirely.
