We're not as isolated here as you may think
...though this may change if Congress has anything to do with it.
"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.

Remember, people in 1900 didn't know what an atom was. They didn't know its structure.
They also didn't know what a radio was, or an airport, or a movie, or a television, or a computer, or a cell phone, or a jet, an antibiotic, a rocket, a satellite, an MRI, ICU, IUD, IBM, IRA, ERA, EEG, EPA, IRS, DOD, PCP, HTML, internet. interferon, instant replay, remote sensing, remote control, speed dialing, gene therapy, gene splicing, genes, spot welding, heat-seeking, bipolar, prozac, leotards, lap dancing, email, tape recorder, CDs, airbags, plastic explosive, plastic, robots, cars, liposuction, transduction, superconduction, dish antennas, step aerobics, smoothies, twelve-step, ultrasound, nylon, rayon, teflon, fiber optics, carpal tunnel, laser surgery, laparoscopy, corneal transplant, kidney transplant, AIDS... None of this would have meant anything to a person in the year 1900. They wouldn't know what you are talking about.
