...public, Jordan responded to his critics, did not need CNN to prove that Saddam was a monster: "Iraq's human-rights record and the brutality of the Saddam Hussein regime were well known." But CNN's decisions affected more than its coverage of one regime. They confirmed the popular suspicion that there is one story for insiders and another one for regular suckers - the journalistic equivalent of Martha Stewart and ImClone.

But an important sticking point for republicans before declaring peace has been the bedrock conviction that the police would never be fair to them. Stevens has exposed why that conviction took root, but he hopes his report will begin to weed it out. Already the R.U.C...
