Still not sure I agree with it, but at least I read a reason behind it. Heard the actual article was pretty good and goes in depth how he went from such a well liked kid to terrorist, but I never read RS.

Sounds like a left wing excuse to me. Even if that alleged purpose is true, there's no need of making him a celebrity. People already know what he looks like, and low information folks are not going to be any more vigilant because of this.
