So very, very lost.
The Washington Post had the headline right the first time for Al-Baghdadi’s obituary calling him a ‘terrorist in Chief.’ But for some reason they decided to change it to a more polite version …

They had it right the first time.

Extremist leader of the Islamic State.

WaPo is in mourning.
