Lets see how this plays out Doug Marker

"Expulsion" I'd heard, though I get a few hours of BBC-oriented news here ("The World" and "BBC World News"), along with NPR. I didn't hear the "wanted poster" quote (or see it in print) until the BBC came on. Regarding bin Laden and Omar, I'd known that bin Laden married the latter's daughter, didn't know the other stuff though. Sounds like a tight relationship though. This one's going to get messy, and there's not going to be much of Taliban leadership left when it's over. `-- Karsten M.

(And BTW - never heard of there being any epidemic of h\ufffdmophilia in them there parts - did you? No downside then ;-) Now re marryin' yer sister: assures a nearby, ready supply of spare parts like kidneys.
