(CBS/AP) Saddam Hussein's final moments will be videotaped by the Iraqi government, reports CBS News correspondent Randall Pinkston. National Security adviser Mouffak al Rubaie says the date of the deposed dictator's execution will not be made public, to avoid possible unrest from Saddam's supporters, but everything from the signing of the final orders by the judge, to the hanging itself will be recorded.
Iraqis, members of the coalition, and international representatives will witness the execution. It's not clear whether the videotape will be broadcast on Iraqi television.
An Iraqi government official says efforts are under way to carry out the death sentence by the end of this month, indicating that they want to do the execution before the Muslim celebration of Eid, which coincides with the New Year.

Good heavens, Saddam's days are definitely numbered if they want to hang him before New Years. He's got what 3 days? I think it should be televised in Time's Square during the ball dropping ceremony. Wouldn't that be something to watch. Ball and Saddam drop at midnight!

There are only two kinds of dictators in this world. Bad ones, and those at the end of a rope.

It WILL get out eventually. YouTube would be a safe bet, or one of the file sharing networks. It could also leak to the media.

If it hits YouTube, consider the video saved on a hard drive then put on disc.

Sounds a bit gross to me. I want to see him dead but it ain't party time.

They'll probably film it in Super 8, though.
