If Brian Williams tells me that Saddam was executed today by hanging, I take his word for it and go on about my day. In Iraq, they have a very real need to see the hanging and then picture evidence of the actual body before they believe he is actually dead. For some reason, parts of our media seem to confuse these two worlds for wanting to be thorough. I think they may lose more viewers than they hope to gain for doing a "complete" story this time.

OTOH, there is no need for me to, like, <em>watch</em> the execution or anything. I'll just take the word of the MSM (and the blogosphere, of course) that it actually happened. ~EdT.

They shouldn't put it on television or even release the video. Just do it and get it over with. Agreed, that is a ridiculous headline. They shouldn’t put it on television or even release the video.
