Two More Cards From The Deck

CNN TV is reporting the capture of two more officials from the Hussein regime ... wasn't able to capture the cards or the names before the story passed, but will post the details as soon as I find them online.

UPDATE: Here's more detail from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

The director of Iraq's office of military industrialization and one of Iraq's two vice presidents under Saddam Hussein have been taken in custody by the U.S.-led military coalition, U.S. Central Command announced Friday.

In a brief statement, Central Command identified the detained men as Abd al Tawab Mullah Huwaysh, director of the Office of Military Industrialization, and Taha Muhyl al Din Maruf, an Iraqi vice president and member of the Revolutionary Command Council.
