I did. Still doesn't make it so she has redeeming qualties though. That isn't what that term means.
Things that are written AFTER the second game came out can't be used to factor a choice made in the second game. What if after recruiting any of the squadmates in 2 you find out your doing so let them do their mega-pedo spree?
You can only use information that's on hand. Otherwise why even play the first game if it turns out the reapers are actually trying to do us a favour? *Reaches ME3 ending* ....oh wait.....

Samara is not a psychopath. She's a cop. You may not LIKE the laws of the Asari, but they're the laws. Even she says that a lot of it doesn't bring it her glee. You can own guns in a lot of America, I don't like that. But it doesn't mean the people that do get guns as the law permits, are crazy loons who shouldn't be given any respect.
She also doesn't kill because she wants to. She's a cop that follows the book TO THE LETTER. I'd rather her than some crooked cop.
Obey the law, don't get punished. She even gives that merc a chance to escape a harsh punishment remember? The merc CHOOSES not to, despite being told what would happen if she didn't HELP A COP DO HER JOB.
Of course she says she'd go after a renegade Shepard after the mission is over (also implied it's if she crosses his path again later on, rather than soon as they're back on the Normandy). Renegade Shepard in ME2 does some very naughty things and he could very well not be a spectre in this game, therefore just a guy breaking the law. No one is above the law. They may change, but no one is above it. The queen of England might kill someone and she'd still get arrested.
Quick edit:
I know some smart-ass is going to try and say "What about spectres then? They're above the law! lolololololol!"
No they're not. The LAW is that those who are spectres are exempt from having to worry about certain things, in order to do thier job. They can't just go killing randomly people because the law doesn't permit them to do that. Saren lost his status for Eden Prime remember?
It's the same as our cops who by law can go past the speed limit in a car chase or to reach an emergency. They can't do it to just to get the doughnuts.
