#3 So, how do they watch Al-Zawhiri and Binny make their pronouncements? Live and in person? And what kind of CDs are they playing "Bob the Builder" and "Winnie the Pooh"? Or is it more like "24" and "The Unit"?

#5 These guys are at war with the single most popular information and entertainment medium in the history of the world. If being holy means spending every night in darkness and silence, I predict many will opt out. Even Saudi has tv.
