Is NBC Hiding Something on those Cho Videos?

Is there something on those Cho videos that the Politically Correct thought police at NBC doesn't want us to see? Is America incapable of "handling it" after 3 straight days of 24x7 "healing"?

They could certainly put questions like these to bed if they would only cough up the entire set of videotape and other documents that this sicko sent to NBC between shootings. Dave Winer (via Glenn Reynolds ) weighs in--I've condensed his format for space considerations:

NBC should release all of the videos in Quicktime form as downloads. It's wrong to withhold them. They're sifting through them and deciding what to release and what not to release. It's 2007, and it's a decentralized world. We should all get a chance to see what's on those videos. GIven enough time the focus will go on their process, much better to just let it all out now, with no editorial judgement. If you have contacts in the blogging world or MSM that could influence NBC's decision, please pass this on.

So let me get this straight--these networks can show us a repeated loop footage of Islamist snipers murdering our troops in Iraq (because we have a "need to know"), but when the whole country wants to know detail about this psychopath who perpetrated the worst campus massacre in US history, NBC decides we can't handle the truth? The irony of this is--if you haven't been on a remote island for the last 2 weeks--the most pressing problem with NBC is... Don Imus?

What am I missing here? Is this my beautiful home? Is this my beautiful wife? (Why can't is just be the same as it ever was?)
