Most of us know about the 55 Iraqi Most Wanted (I call them the “Iraq Pack” because of the now-famous discreet way their faces and names were given to U.S. soldiers: in the form of a deck of playing cards). Is there anywhere on the Internet that lists who of the Pack has been captured and who’s still at large?

Thank you. Who but a Marine (if your user name rings true)?

That may be true, but the ones we do know are important.

I also found a link to the Pack and who the government is telling us were caught at [Centcom’s site](http://www.centcom.mil/Operations/Iraqi%20Freedom/55MostWanted.htm), which also features the PDF file of the Pack (which, for some reason, has a big DIA logo in the background).
