Now on : http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/11/02/arafat.health/index.html
"Aide says Arafat's health improving"

and at the top of the page :
BREAKING NEWS Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is in a coma at a military hospital in Paris, senior Palestinian aide tells CNN. Details soon.

Whatever comes out of Paris is being denied in the West Bank...

...this BBC article gives a pretty good unbiased picture.

Looks like we'll know more around 15:00 GMT today, as a press conference is scheduled.

Seems like a reasonable approach (at least it's not a new one).

My questions is what exactly would the status of your health need to be, to be improved by being in a coma?

On a more sober note, any thoughts on the turmoil that Arafat's death would have on West Bank and extermist groups? I don't think it's going to be better place anytime soon. Hard to believe that Arafat's a stabilizing influence for the West Bank.

Perhaps, if the reporter is not a fan of Yasser, a slip into a coma is an improvement!

I *still* think Arafat and Ringo Starr are the same person. You've never seen them in the same room together, have you?

Hmmmm....I should know better than to stick my head into this one, but what's better than a dead terrorist? A dead terrorist in France...

Let's hope that calm minds and emotions will prevail.

Take care y'all

Terrorist? Do you mean like Menachem Begin before Israel existed?

Don't get me wrong Smitty, I agree with you. I believe he's one of the largest terrorists alive. I just think that the Hamas is going to go wild, with no one holding the leash.
