I can't help but think that this business of a new tape from al-jazeera and Arafat's is he or isn't he dead saga are too much of a coincidence. I keep wondering whether Arafat's been done in as part of the tape/assassination/attack scenario we were told to expect.
There are going to be problems...I think the hold up is 72 hours is the usual wait for someone brain dead (I think) before they pull life support, at least that is what they did for my uncle. Then the following...Arafat wants to be buried on the temple mount. These are old articles.
