What about his hanging?

The trial of Saddam Hussein will be shown on live television, Iraq's national security adviser said yesterday.
The trial will show the Arab and Muslim world "that this is going to be a fair, just trial with a defence counsel in there, with a proper prosecuting counsel as well there," Iraqi national security adviser Muwaffaq Rubaie told CNN. "And everybody will watch this trial live on television."
Earlier this month, an Iraqi tribunal filed the first charges against the deposed Iraqi leader over the 1982 killing of 143 residents of the village of Dujail, north-east of Baghdad, where he had been the target of a failed assassination attempt.
No date for his trial has yet been set.
Joe Wilson's trial for perjury and for outing his wife should be even more fun to watch.
Greta's mind just exploded. Her freakshow shall go on and on and on...
What about his hanging?
Good, and the hanging afterwards should be on "pay-per-view."
I was looking through some older stories on this subject, and it appears that this trial will be a circus with many, many clowns:
Saddam's legal team includes 1,500 volunteers and at least 22 lead lawyers who come from several countries, including the United States, France, Jordan, Iraq and Libya.
How large will the live thread be? I'm guessing about 8,500.
