CNN showed a still picture today of Iraqi exiles volunteering to fight along
the U.S.-led coalition forces. One was waving a flag, which looked liked a
horizontal triband of light blue over light green over white.

I saw that one, but to me it looked more like a diagonal tricolor of blue-green-yellow.

The blue-green-yellow diagonal tricolor originally spotted by Thorsten
and then corrected by me and confirmed by Jaume Ollé appears
connected with the Iraqi opposition, and its details are still doubtful.
For instance, it seemed to me that the flag was rather squarish, not at all
as long as a 2:3, so I used proportions of 3:4.

Today the Associated Press ran a photograph of the
Free Iraqi Forces in Iraq. A soldier is holding their flag. It appears to have two unique,
sun-like shapes on it as well.

I darkened a bit the shade of green, following the shade in the Yahoo photo, and used a sort of orange for the
sun rays. These are similar to those used in the 1959-63 flag, but not identical.
