<P> Each card contains the wanted person 's address and , if available , the job performed by that individual . The highest - ranking cards , starting with the aces and kings , were used for the people at the top of the most - wanted list . The ace of spades is Saddam Hussein , the aces of clubs and hearts are his sons Qusay and Uday respectively , and the ace of diamonds is Saddam 's presidential secretary Abid Hamid Mahmud al - Tikriti . This strict correspondence to the order of the most - wanted list was not carried through the entire deck , but some time later in 2003 , the list itself was renumbered to conform ( almost ) to the deck of cards . The card backs feature a green military camouflage pattern . </P>
