Should the Pentagon livestream the execution of the Fort Hood shooter?

The Pentagon said it will livestream the firing-squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting; the U.S. has not held a public execution since the 1930s.

Feels like we're regressing here. Whatever you think of the death penalty, do we really want executions turned into livestreams our kids can watch?

If you're voting yes, would you still want cameras rolling if the method is lethal injection and it goes the way Oklahoma's did in 2014?
