Following up on Cary's post, looks like they're going to go ahead and examine his body:


RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — The Palestinian president cleared the way Wednesday for a possible autopsy on Yasser Arafat's remains, following a request from his widow after a Swiss lab said it found elevated levels of a lethal radioactive isotope on the longtime Palestinian leader's belongings.

The developments have reignited a storm of speculation over what killed Arafat, who died on Nov. 11, 2004 at the age of 75 at a military hospital outside Paris after decades of fighting with Israel.

Arafat's widow, Suha, who rejected an autopsy at the time of his death, said she wanted one done now in the wake of the lab's findings, first reported by the Arab satellite TV station Al-Jazeera. In an interview with the station, she did not explain why she waited nearly eight years to have the belongings, including a toothbrush and a fur hat, tested.

at that point she was happy to take the money and run. I'll bet the farm that she has been offered more cash for her decision on this.

And let's see...let's take a bet. WHO will be the poisoner in this case? Israel? in 3....2.....1......

No more cruel than what the Brits or any other humans are. Care to compare the sympathetic side of Americans?

After polonium revelation, Israel's PR hacks revive lies that Arafat was gay and died of AIDS

by Ali Abunimah

While Israel markets itself as the most gay-friendly country in the world, its PR hacks revive homophobic rumors that Arafat was a gay “sexual deviant” who died of AIDS.

Good thing there were others besides the Israelis out there with rumours. Especially those that never talked to the Israelis. Sure Hope.....there might be pictures around of who was going in and out Arafat's residences and Hotels.

Inside Arafat's compound of rubbleYasser Arafat has been under virtual house arrest at his headquarters in the West Bank town of Ramallah since the end of 2001. On 20 September 2002, the Israeli army laid siege to the compound, leaving it almost in ruins. Ten days later tanks, bulldozers and diggers rolled away, leaving only one building of the once-sprawling compound standing. It was a three-storey block housing the Palestinian leader's office. In addition to shelling and bulldozing the compound, the army used explosives to tear down its structures, including the main interior ministry building.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/1902566.stmIn the interests of truth.

Okay, what does that have to do with the rumours before he was confined.(not a damn thing) Nobody came in and nobody went out. Is that the truth?

Don't forget he did come to Washington.....as much as we wanted to make him feel at home with a Tent. I think he preferred Western Amenities.

Doc Watson went to Washinghton- but that's nothing to do with Arafat being poisoned in Ramallah either.

Well I didn't think that all the Rumors about him being a Homosexual were just tied to his death either? Just sayin!
