There is no business involved, nor would Osama be a citizen.
Personally, I would not pay to see a man executed. I wouldn't witness it if it were free either. First, I'm not interested even though i support the death penalty in many cases. Secondly, I think it would be treated like a circus. Even though Osama has done things worthy of death... it is still a solemn thing to take a person's life. Lastly, I wouldn't want the footage to make a martyr out of him.
To add to the sideline discussion on this thread: I think the last person to get the chair in this country did so in the state of Florida. Here in Oklahoma, I've haven't heard of anything but lethal injection for a long time.
