How reliable is this report?

[Defiant]

I do not doubt that a "Pakistani source to the 9-11 commission" gave Arnaud the document that is quoted in this article. The issue is whether the document is real or disinformation. It appears from the quotes attributed to Arnaud that he considers it genuine, which gives it added credibility to me. However, this is something that on its face seems unlikely, and so, even though Arnaud is a proponent, I would want to see a lot more before I considered it to be true.

I consider it unlikely that the Pak army is treating Osama, because that would be dangerous for Musharef if he knows about it, and for the generals if he does not. They know we would take such a thing as a hostile act, and if caught with Osama, they would have to hand him over, and they don't want to do that and inflame their masses. So, they would not be likely to have Osama in a hospital getting dialysis. But, the report is credible, so it merits further investigation.
