Anyone know if the AP has written anything about this comedian prior to his death?

I think I saw a piece about him recently on TV. If it's the same guy, he was taking on the terrorists head-on with humor, and he worried every day about being attacked. His comedy was topical and rattled all cages equally.

not sure if it was AP specifically, but I seem to recall of a mention or two of him before.

Walid Hassan's slaying came as the Iraqi death toll rose to more than 1,300 for the first 20 days of November — the highest for any month since The Associated Press began tracking the figure in April 2005.

Why did they wait so long?
