The arch-conservative paper at Newsmax.com is offering the "55 Most Wanted Iraqis" cards for "free", if you order a 4-month starter subscription to Newsmax for four months ($15 and then automatically renews at $35/year). But they don't seem to have a "just sell me the damn cards without the subscription" price. ;)

Update: The Newsmax site (http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2003/4/16/183900)says:
These playing cards are the same ones the U.S. government is using to produce for our servicemen and women in Iraq. We even offer the cards made by the same manufacturer the Pentagon uses.

These cards depict 55 "Most Wanted" Iraqi war criminals, beginning with ace of spades Saddam Hussein.

However, see the Stars and Stripes article from today:
ThatÂ’s not possible, Brooks said, because DIA gave the cards to CENTCOM, not the embassy, and has never had the cards printed by a commercial contractor.

Bah.
