Who do you suppose Ace of Diamonds would be?

Hooray! Maybe one of Hussein's sons? If I remember correctly, Saddam was the death card (Ace of Spades, appropriate), and his two thug boys were also aces.

Meanwhile, more U.S. soldiers are shot in the back.

This will be labeled a 'quagmire' in no time.

I think "Ace of Diamonds" is a rapper from Philly, wanted on drug and weapons charges.

WASHINGTON — U.S. forces in Iraq have made their highest arrest so far from the list of 55 most-wanted Iraqis.

Gen. Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, the Ace of Diamonds in Central Command's deck of cards, was taken into custody, Pentagon officials told Fox News.

Al-Tikriti was No. 4 on the most-wanted list, behind only Saddam Hussein and his sons Uday and Qusay.

Al-Tikriti was Saddam's personal secretary, national security adviser and senior bodyguard.

Fox News' Bret Baier contributed to this report.

-Ace of diamonds: Abed Hameed Hmoud, presidential secretary. He controlled access to his cousin Saddam. In the 1990s, he was in charge of several security portfolios, including responsibility over places where Iraq has been accused of hiding weapons.

Interesting... He might know if Saddam is alive... and if he is, where he might be found.

[wimpycat]

The name al-Tikriti simply means he's from Tikrit, and most likely a relative of Saddam's.

Not that YOU don't know this already, but maybe somebody doesn't know...

Hopefully we're applying just a wee bit of pressure to get our boy to spill the beans on Hussein and WMD.
