Attention eBay shoppers: The coalition has issued to soldiers in the field a deck of playing cards identifying the 52 "most wanted" members of Saddam Hussein's regime.

I want that deck. You hear me, eBay heatseekers? I will pay top dollar for a deck of playing cards with Saddam's evil mug on the Ace of Spades. (I'd pay higher for a deck with Saddam as the joker, but I'll take what I can get!) Anyone with a Deck of Evil for sale, or who knows where to get one, let me know.

Update: Found them at greatusaflags.com. They only ship within the USA, which means I'll have to do the old "mail them to my parents and have Mom and Dad ship them over" trick. Handy tip for expats: Keep an American billing address on at least one of your credit cards, because there are a lot of places that refuse to accept cards with an overseas billing address—even though the card itself was issued in the USA. Leave your Discover Card at home, too, because it's only useful as a lock-pick over here.
