The New York Times is reporting otherwise:

NBC News, however, indicated it might go further. Steve Capus, the president of NBC News, said that network may show “a wide shot of Saddam hanging.” He said NBC would make its decision based on questions both of taste and of history.

...

None of this means that the complete images of the hanging, should such video be taken by Iraqi authorities, will be unavailable. Executives throughout the television news business said they fully expect these images to turn up at least on Web sites.

"Somehow it will get out," said Paul Friedman, vice president of CBS News. “That video is going to be available somewhere on some channel or some site."

Of course, this is The New York Times, so take it with a grain of salt.

I'm off work this week (I am ACTUALLY taking a vacation!), so I can't tell you if this is actually what network is saying to us out in affiliate land...

Somehow it will get out but not by CBS, right Paul Friedman?

Why not show the other dictators of the world what could happen to them.

Who's next?
