More on the US Central Command, playing cards and free market

[Celso Alvarez Cáccamo]

This is amazing.  Just a few minutes after I re-entered the US Central 
Command site and sent a message to the LNC and CRITICS list, I receive this 
email in my mailbox from RapidDealsByEmail.com:


>Get the Iraqi 'Most-Wanted' Deck of Playing Cards
>Only $5.95 a Set!
>
>Click Here Now!
>
>You've seen these cards on the nightly news. They've been featured in 
>newspapers worldwide. Now you can own the one true collector's item from 
>Operation Iraqi Freedom. This is the same 55-card deck given to Coalition 
>soldiers featuring the Iraq's 52 "Most-Wanted" leaders.
>
>Don't wait on this one! This is one of the hottest items in the country 
>and we can barely keep them in stock! Set of four quantity-priced decks

>Embassy in Kuwait. This is a real, usable deck of playing cards, printed

It'd be interesting to know if other people who enter the US Central 
Command web site also get the same message, or if it's just a coincidence 
given the large amount of spam email that litters the Internet.
