I have been hearing about this and this was the first I have seen of the cover. It's far less offensive than it was made out to be. It is just a picture of him, there is nothing glamorous about it.
Yes, this is totally a mountain out of a molehill. Bad newsmakers still need to be covered in the news. I'm sure Bin Laden has been featured on plenty of magazines, as were Hitler and Stalin. People are just pissed off, because Rolling Stone is a commie mag.

Well, it's my understanding that it was supposed to be somewhat glamorous when he took it -- but for the news organizations' purposes, it was just the best available picture. It does bear a striking resemblance to some of the old Morrison, Dylan etc covers, though.
