I think making him look like just another "hip young rockstar" is the whole idea. I think showing him in such an ambiguous way helps us get away from the simplistic terrorism narratives we see too much of...
Right wing blog: It's because they're evil and they hate our freedom. Left wing blog: It's because they're poor and disadvantage because of America's actions.
Where does this good-looking educated friendly guy fit in to the narrative? That's the question I get from the cover.

One thing about the Rolling Stone photoshop cover I like. It's going to make him a popular boy in prison when he hits the general population. "Pass the soap Dzhokhar's coming".
The big brother won't be there to back him up anymore. Cause he's dead you see. Try shouting "Allulah Akhabar" Dzhokhar. See if that works.

I think we should stop being offended by everything and always blame others.
