TVNewser asks an interesting question — how are the networks planning to handle video of Saddam Hussein's impending execution, assuming it happens? It does seem likely that most news orgs have already decided whether or not they'll run the actual video (considering it will "inevitably" make it to YouTube). We're guessing that few American nets will show the actual moment o' death, but those that do show it (or the moments right before/after) will indeed use the "story of the video" angle (as the TVNewser tipster speculates) to weasel around questions of impropriety in broadcasting the clip. Expect a hilariously redubbed version on The Colbert Report after the initial furor dies down.
