Letter to Milford Daily News: Photo showed poor judgment

As sensitive as this day is, I am appalled and dismayed to see your front page photo under the caption 9/11: Five years on.

The photo of the Sikh gentleman on the front page, although might of been meant to comfort, has done nothing but strike fear in the hearts of those left behind.

I appreciate your story and understand your reasoning in writing it, but to have a photo of a man that is dressed in Taliban apparel has just the opposite effect. Yes, the gentleman on the front page is a peaceful, loving person, but to have him on the cover does him a great disservice.

Shame on the Milford Daily News for making this decision

KATHLEEN DeLUCA,

Milford
