The Iraq 55: Personality Identification Playing Cards
by Elonka at 5:41 pm EDT, Apr 14, 2003

Pictures of the 55 cards on the Department of Defense website. Interestingly, some of the cards only have names, and don't have pictures.

I'm also surprised that they didn't include the Arabic script of the names on the cards, as that would have been an easy tool for the soldiers to use when talking to helpful people on the street: Show them the cards and ask people if any of the names were familiar. I'm sure that there are plenty of Iraqis who are more than eager to help find many of the people in that deck!

Lastly, I was extremely surprised that our beloved Iraqi (Mis)Information Minister, Sahaf, isn't in the deck. I would have put his card at a high trade value, up there with Mark McGuire and Ozzie Smith or something. ;)
