breakin on Fox now too, time to update the Deck of Cards list!!!

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Saddam Hussein's (search) former second-in-command, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri (search), was arrested in northern Iraq, an Iraqi Defense Ministry spokesman told al-Hurra television.

Saleh Sarhan said al-Douri was captured while in a clinic where he was receiving medical treatment.

"There was a major operation around Tikrit (search) and al-Dour and American forces supported by Iraqi civil defense corps members were able to capture Izzat al-Douri," he told the U.S. government-funded Arabic-language station in a live telephone interview.

The U.S. military said it had no immediate comment on the report.

We're hearing it on the news here in Iraq.

I wonder if we're going to be hearing celebratory gunfire outside the wire shortly?

Former Saddam Deputy Arrested in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Saddam Hussein's former second-in-command, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, was arrested in northern Iraq, an Iraqi Defense Ministry spokesman told al-Hurra television.

Saleh Sarhan said al-Douri was captured while in a clinic where he was receiving medical treatment.

"There was a major operation around Tikrit and al-Dour and American forces supported by Iraqi civil defense corps members were able to capture Izzat al-Douri," he told the U.S. government-funded Arabic-language station in a live telephone interview. Saddam was captured at a safehouse near al-Dour in December.

The U.S. military said it had no immediate comment on the report.

Sarhan said al-Douri was now in the hands of the Americans.

Al-Douri, who had a U.S. bounty of $10 million on his head, was the highest-ranking member of Saddam's government who was still at large. Once the vice chairman of the Baath Party's Revolutionary Command Council, he was a longtime confidant of Saddam.

He is No. 6 on the U.S. military's list of 55 most wanted figures from Saddam's regime. Forty-four on the list had been captured or killed.

U.S. military officials have said they believe al-Douri is playing an organizing role in the 16-month-old insurgency against U.S. forces.

Proper interrogations of al Durri may shed some light on the Iraq-al Qaeda connection. al Durri's cousin is married to Colonel Saadan Mahmud Abdul Latif aka Abu-Wael who is the co-founder of the al Qaeda funded Ansar al Islam.

I would like to see a two minute spot for Bush, where they flash the the face of each terrorist from the deck of cards, with voice overs describing each person's fate. I think it would be stunning.

It could end with, "Despite what you hear, the War on Terrorism is working."
