At the daily CENTCOM briefing on April 11, 2003, Brigadier General Vincent Brooks, Deputy Director of Operations, introduced the deck of 55 playing cards that they are providing to soldiers. The cards have the faces of wanted individuals along with what their role is in Iraq.

The cards have stirred up a frenzie of people trying to get their hands on a deck. According to the CENTCOM web site, "the cards are not available for sale or distribution." However, they have made available a PDF file (see below) with the card images so that you can print your own. Hence, there are many different kinds of these decks of cards popping up on web sites and auction sites all over the world. All I can say is "buyer beware."

Here are some related links:

United States Central Command has made a PDF file available that you can download and use to print your own cards:
