Did these typos occur in the original cards? If so, they should be left misspelled with the notation [sic]. If not, correct them. 3 of spades: "artificats". 3 of clubs: "disrespectufl". King of hearts: "defensable". Ace of diamonds: "artificats". 6 of diamonds: "susiscious". 4 of diamonds: "anu". Also, according to your first reference the 2 of clubs says: "Ancient Iraqi heritage is part of your heritage. Old stories say that Jonah of the bible [sic] was buried in this hill. (Nabi Yunis Mosque in Mosul, Iraq)" Art LaPella (talk) 02:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality of Third Paragraph

Paragraph three implies that U.S. military personnel engaged in looting. That wording needs to be clarified and/or a source needs to be cited.Tuelj (talk) 16:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
