GENERAL Kamal Mustafa Abdallah Sultan Al-Tikriti, former secretary general of Iraq's Republican Guard and a member of Saddam Hussein's inner circle surrendered today, US forces announced.
He was placed in custody and figured high on the US list of most wanted Iraqis, Central command said.
The general "surrendered to Coalition Forces early this morning in Baghdad," a Centcom statement said.
He was the Queen of clubs in the US deck of playing cards distributed to troops to assist in the capture of leading figures in the regime ousted on April 9.
The statement said the general was No.10 on the wanted list, but on the original list published by the US military last month he was No.8.
Nearly half of the most wanted list have now either been caught or turned themselves in to US forces, including Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz.
However US officials admit they do not know if Saddam and his sons Uday and Qusay are dead or alive.

Nice to read about something higher than 2's, 5's and 9's...... and get ourselves a Queen!!
Good going guys and gals! Congrats!!
Now, if we can get some actionable information out of him, we'll have something good here. I wonder what kind of "deals" we make when people of that stature 'surrender'.....

That makes 3 queens.
Makes you wonder where he has been the last month.

Baghdad is a huge city geographically. Also, few if any Free Iraqis would dare turn in a top Iraqi in the first few weeks. He probably just stayed at home until he realized that it was really over.
We need to put a dead or alive bounty out on those in the card deck still roaming. Let the roamers know that they have 1 week to turn themselves in or they become jackal meat.
That should hurry up the the surrender rate before the week is over. After that we can identify the pieces and parts for the rewards.

If they don't they get Barney half time and Metallica the other half, with the "half" being only an averge..about the time they get used to Barney, Metallica will come on, and vice versa, at random intervals of course.
