actually I do think the cars are a good idea. As you mention, there probably isnt a better way to post 55 pictures of wanted people.
I was merely referring to the general way some things are presented in the media without the need for anyone to understand anything, the message has to be no more than 30 seconds long and what better way than having a deck of cards to describe the wanted list.

I just hoped they had the Info min as a joker ;D TC - Sorry to tell you this, but the Iraqi Information Minister wasn't even included in the deck. The American's didn't consider him a serious threat *and as was mentioned somewhere earlier, the poor man took his own life by hanging himself. Pity -- he'd made such a name for himself, that he could have had a wonderful career as a comedian* CFF |

UNCONFIRMED press reports that he has hanged himself.
No evidence anywhere.
As it is, Ryanair an Irish airline has used the information minister in some newspaper advertisements and has supposedly quoted as saying 'easy jet' (a competitor airline) has the cheapest fares.

re: Baghdad Bob[/u] According to Al Bawaba ...... An official at Iraq's leading opposition group, the Iraqi National Congress (INC) has disclosed to Al Bawaba that in the past two days there has been contacts with Mohammad Said al-Sahaf, Saddam Hussein's Information Minister, regarding his surrender. According to Nabil al Musawi, the deal will be completed soon. Musawi said that although al-Sahaf's name is not included on the list of most wanted Iraqis by US forces, "he is wanted by the Iraqis". Last week, the Portuguese daily Diario de Noticias reported that the minister whose briefings made him a worldwide celebrity during the recent war, tried to hand himself in via a contact with Portuguese journalists. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TC -- The first person I thought of when I saw this was you .... . Check out Baghdad Bob as a spokesman for the Detroit Red Wings ;Dwasichu.net/redwings_infominister.jpgCFF

HAHAHA that was good
As for the Info min, that sucks. Americans like the guy. Hell we have been wanting him to make a few commercials. If he is still alive, give him a Million dollars and let him do a commericals for someone. Nobody would mind it.

TV job offer for former Iraqi information minister
DUBAI (AFP) - An Arab TV news channel has offered a job to Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s top spin doctor, former Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Said al-Sahhaf.
Sahhaf, who became a global celebrity for his persistant refusal to admit that US troops were in Baghdad, has been told by the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya channel that there is a job waiting for him.
"We see no problem in having Mr. Sahhaf join us. First of all, Sahhaf is not on the list of the 55 Iraqis most wanted by the Americans, and he won international fame (during the Iraqi war). We would be happy to have him on our team," Ali Al-Hedeithy, the head of Al-Arabiya told AFP.
Even President George W. Bush (news - web sites) said last week that he had stepped out of meetings in Washington to catch a few of Sahhaf's daily press conferences.
"He was great," Bush told NBC television.
