I went looking for the people who signed this document. I'm probably not the greatest at digging stuff up like this, and I could not find any reference to the last two, but I did find this for the first one--one of the deck!

CNN LATE EDITION WITH WOLF BLITZER

Aired April 27, 2003 - 12:00 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: It's noon in Washington, 9:00 a.m. in Los Angeles, 7:00 p.m. in Jerusalem, and 8:00 p.m. in Baghdad. Wherever you're watching from around the world, thanks for joining us for LATE EDITION.
We'll talk about the weapons hunt in Iraq with Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei in just a moment. We're also standing by to hear directly from the defense secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, and the Central Command commander, General Tommy Franks. They've spoken with reporters. We'll get to them shortly.

But first, let's check in with CNN reporters covering the latest developments in the new Iraq.

And let's go immediately to the Pentagon, where another Iraqi leader is reported to have been taken into custody. Let's get the latest from CNN's Patty Davis at the Pentagon -- Patty.

PATTY DAVIS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Wolf, he is the six of clubs on that U.S. deck of most wanted Iraqis. His name, Lieutenant General Husam Muhammed Amin Al-Yasin. U.S. Central Command not giving any details of his being taken into custody. And we saw General Amin on television many times prior to the war with Iraq. He was the liaison between Iraq and the United Nations weapons inspectors.

The big question, will he talk about Iraq's alleged chemical and biological weapons now that he is in custody?

April 29,2003: Lt. Gen. Hossam Mohammed Amin, chief Iraqi liaison with U.N. weapons inspectors, was taken into coalition custody, the U.S. Central Command announced. Amin, the former Iraqi National Monitoring Director, was No. 49 on the most-wanted list and was captured near the town of Ramadi, west of Baghdad on the road that leads to Syria and Jordan.

Amin, also known as Hossem Mohammed Amin al-Yasin, was among the key figures in Saddam's weapons programs and would have detailed knowledge of any illegal armaments, if Iraq still posses them.

There was also this on a list of what the inspectors were doing each day before the war:

The inspectors have visited 230 sites since the resumption of inspections, 37 of which had not been previously checked by UN experts, the head of Iraq's National Monitoring Directorate, General Hossam Mohammad Amin, said Thursday. Reiterating that Iraq has no prohibited weapons, Amin said Blix, who heads UNMOVIC, would arrive in Baghdad in the third week of January, but there was no exact date for the visit.

I also found this one on another site but there was no source listed for the article:

General. Hossam Mohammed Amin said he saw nothing to justify the criticisms expressed last week by chief UN inspector Hans Blix and Mohamed El-Baradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
