A deck of 55 playing-sized cards that feature members of Iraqi leadership,
such as Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash, will be distributed among members of Coalition forces
to aid in finding and capturing them.

I saw this on the news, I rather like this idea, and I bet after the war these turn up on eBay.

They should have an Infoman card. Every pack needs a joker...

Now why they missed the prime opportunity of making the (Dis)Information Minister the Joker is beyond me. It's not like they couldn't have put all those tribal names stuff on the card usually reserved for Bridge Rules.

Why isn't that wee (Dis)Information minister who thought he was winning the joker?

Actually according to the Express he is... After all there are 2 Joker's in a pack.

Ahh, a good point. So what did they use the Bridge Rules card for then? I assume they had one of those if it was a 55 card deck.
