There are some scoops it might be better never to have gotten. NBC was under criticism all day today for its decision to air parts of the macabre video rant that had been mailed to the network by Cho Seung-Hui, who may have shot it in the two hours between his two lethal rampages on the Virginia Tech campus Monday. The video was riveting. And inevitably, also revolting. Millions watched it last night. Today came the recriminations...

Cho photographed himself flourishing a hammer, the movie 's trademark weapon, in a pose that the professor, Paul Harris, said resembled one from the film.
