To say Jokhar was given the glamour treatment doesn't nessacarily mean Rolling Stone retouched the photo. They didn't
need to. It already screams rock star/sex symbol.
The only way you could make a fair comparison to the UBL cover would be to use the Boylston Street surveillance camera image.
And to compare to McVeigh Newsweek cover, how about a photo of Jokhar as he looked after he was pulled out of that boat in Watertown Mass.
I also agree that the idea of boycotting the magazine is totally silly. The majority of people that read it are the type that could care less about moral decay and the like.
