WASHINGTON (AP) - Coalition forces captured two more wanted Iraqis over the weekend, bringing to 27 the number of the top 55 former members of Saddam Hussein's regime in custody, U.S. Central Command said Tuesday. The men captured Saturday were low on the list but their arrests mean nearly half of the top suspects are being held and interrogated by American forces.

The latest captured include Sayf al-Din al-Mashadani, No. 46 on the list. He was the regional leader of Saddam's Baath Party in the Muthanna region of southwestern Iraq.

Also captured was No. 55, Sad Abd al-Majid al-Faysal. He was the Baath Party regional chairman for the area around Tikrit, Saddam's hometown and power base.

What ever happened to the rumor that Uday was going to turn himself in?

[GraniteStateConservative]

We've told him that we'll capture him anyway sooner or later, so no deal.

One more and it's over 50% - it's not a quagmire if you get over 50%, is it?

[The Old Hoosier]

I'm sorry, it's still going to be hopeless quagmire until at least November 2004.

Maybe we will send these Iraqis to live the new exiles:

(Washington, D.C.) -- In a little reported provision of the Patriot Act of 2003, former president Bill Clinton has been exiled to the island of Elba along with his wife, members of his cabinet, and George Stephanopoulos.

"Frankly, Clinton was just becoming a pain in the ass," said Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), a co-sponsor of the legislation. "Jesus, we're all sick and tired of hearing about the 'most ethical administration in US history.' I mean, you try to explain to your 90-year old grandmother what "hummer" means."

According to the provisions of the bill, the Clinton entourage will not be allowed any contact with the outside world except for weekly parachute drops of Moonpies, Mountain Dew, frozen White Castle hamburgers, and back issues of The Nation and Swank magazines.

A spokesman for the former president said that Mr. Clinton is "looking forward to this exciting new opportunity to serve the American people." George Stephanopoulos told this reporter that he is currently re-reading The Lord of the Flies.
