Dead or alive
Nice poster. Maybe the folks who commercialized the famous deck of cards will make one for us here at home.
Four months after his image was officially banned from the streets of Baghdad, the face of Saddam Hussein began popping up all over the city today, plastered on walls and monuments.This time, however, the image was not that of the all-powerful, all-seeing dictator watching over his people but the fugitive father of two slain sons, hunted by the American occupiers.
"Wanted: Saddam Hussein," reads the red and black poster bearing the image of the former dictator, gazing into the distance clad in his customary military beret. "Any information leading to the arrest or proof of death of Saddam Hussein may lead to an award of up to $25 million."
