Bush gets decked

In a play on the deck of cards issued to US troops in Iraq, anti-nuclear campaigners launched their own most-wanted list – with President George W Bush replacing Saddam Hussein as the ace of spades.

In a play on the deck of cards issued to US troops in Iraq, anti-nuclear campaigners launched their own most-wanted list – with President George W Bush replacing Saddam Hussein as the ace of spades.

But while the US cards are meant to help soldiers identify – and capture - most wanted Iraqi leaders, the Greenpeace deck is meant to focus attention on the dangers posed by massive nuclear arsenals.

Campaigners are handing out 600 decks to delegates at a two-week meeting on the 1968 Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, which aimed at controlling and ultimately eliminating nuclear weapons.

The conference is one of the meetings that precedes a review of the 188-nation accord in 2005.
