Abdul-Rahman Al-Mashhadani

Intresting to note number 46 on the Iraqi Most Wanted list was a Bathist big wig named Al-Mashadani. Relative perhaps?

Wow, good catch!! That could well be significant. It must be expected that a number of the people on that Most Wanted list had/have networks of relative and friends who are working on behalf of the terrorist-jihadists in various ways, some actually making and planting IEDs, etc. but others such as aspiring "journalists" and "human rights" propagandists who help the world's MSM with their efforts to report favorably on the jihadists and unfavorably on US troops.

It's very possible, I think. He might even be the family member that the lawyer was referring to, who is currently in prison:

Iraqi Deck of Cards
http://www.angelfire.com/ultra/terroristscorecard/IraqDeck.html

If we're talking about the same person, he is listed here as Sayf al-Din al-Mashhadani, BP Chmn & Cmdr BP Militia Muthanna Gov. (BP means Baathist Party)

According to that site he was captured 5/27/03.

Also, he was listed at the 3 of clubs in the mosted wanted deck of cards.

Which might account for the use of Bush as a joker on the "poetry" page.

As I was saying:

   

On the left you see the playing card from the Iraqi Deck. On the right the card from the author's "poetry page."

Maybe it's a coincidence. Maybe it isn't.
