Whew, what a day! I am beat. Sorry to intrude with something maybe a bit silly, but I am almost sure that when I checked my email earlier, I had a news flash that they had caught the #4 man on the deck of Iraqi's Most Wanted from CNN.* Am I mistaken about this? I read several blogs in the last few minutes and had not seen this mentioned on any of them. What is it, doesn't anyone care about that deck of cards anymore? Is everyone already tired of waiting for them to get the full deck or what? Seems to me #4 is higher than anyone but Saddam, Uday and Qusay. Oh well, I am so tired, maybe I just dreamed it all anyway. Or, I am so tired, someone has reported this and I just missed it.
UPDATE: Either this is not news, or no one is talking about it. But here is the story. This is the Ace of Diamonds, the first of the Aces who has been captured.**
