    That's be interesting to know. If that's why they're concealing it, then it must also apply to foreign citizens.

      It's been known for some time now among parts of the Israeli public that Arafat was bisexual, and now rumors are spreading over the net and on some newspapers that Arafat may have died of the AIDS virus. The French Government will not release the reasons for his death or condition. It is to be kept a family secret. It does not take an expert to figure out what killed this man. The indications over the weeks were that his immune system was defective and that he suffered from some kind of virus. All the symptoms pointed to Aids (HIV). This is the only disease that disgraces and humiliates a person, and the only one that someone would want kept secret. Now stories are[^] appearing[^] that suggest his illness is being kept under wraps to preserve his apparent good standing in the world community. One Whitehouse rep is quoted as saying, "We know he has a blood disease that is depressing his immune system. We know that he has suddenly dropped considerable weight -- possibly as much as one-third of all his body weight. We know that he is suffering intermittent mental dysfunction. What does this sound like?" It'll be interesting to see if the French government will continue to supress the truth and keep it a secret.

      Hmm... Judah. Not a muslim name. Could there be a personal agenda here ? I have just been looking at the recent pictures of him on news sits and you are quite wrong. The major symptom of AIDS is extreme weight loss. I know this because I watched it kill a friend over five years. Arafat showed no weight loss whatsoever. Now go away and hang your head in shame at such tactics. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

Seriously though and in all honestly, I am admittedly biased here and glad to hear that this one-man show is finally over. On that same note of honesty, I am also curious to know if the rumors are true. You said no weightloss, however, if you read one of the articles I linked to in my original post, Whitehouse speech writer David Frum is quoted as saying Arafat lost as much as 1/3 his body weight before his death. I've seen a few pictures of him in the hospital and he does look much thinner. That said, I'm not subscribing to the AIDS theory just yet, there are too few facts known to make an informed decision. I just hope the truth will come out about his death, whether it be radiation exposure, AIDS, cancer, thallium, whatever the records show.

          In England it is medical law that only immediate family are informed of any patients illness and or condition. It is up to the family if they wish to pass that information on to the public. The nationality of the person is not relevant. pseudonym67 My Articles[^] "They say there are strangers who threaten us, In our immigrants and infidels. They say there is strangeness too dangerous In our theaters and bookstore shelves. That those who know what's best for us Must rise and save us from ourselves." Rush

            Interesting, French law may be similar. But in all honestly, when was the last time the cause of death of a world leader was concealed by a government? That in itself seems suspicious, even if there are laws in place to give patient confidentiality.

              If the laws are the same then if someone in the French government does know and knowingly releases the information after the family has requested that the information be witheld then they would be breaking the law and the government would probably be sued as well. pseudonym67 My Articles[^] "They say there are strangers who threaten us, In our immigrants and infidels.

                              Not my world, until now I didn'tknow any "Magic Johnson" (some pimply teen jokes excluded). Besides, that was Magic Johnson (I assume some famous foot/base/basketball player hero?), not Yassir Arafat, a person sitting between to many chairs already. Besides, that was 1991, not 2004. An era ends, a long-term burning conflict could find a solution, or escalate to an explosion. And you care about if he stuck his Magic Johnson into some other guys anus? I don't think it's good that france doesn't tell. But in my absolutely arrogant opinion, if it was HIV, the can keep their mouth shut.

Knowing the specifics is neither necessecary nor useful other than to satisfy morbid curiousity (or worse yet, to besmirch a reputation that hardly needs it, and in doing so inflame the anger of those who thought him a hero). This kind of speculation only serves to disgrace the speculator. I had little use for the man, but I do not care to stoop to smear him in death, nor should you.

                                    As far as evidence goes, while a Whitehouse official, several newspaper articles, and rumors around the web are hardly concrete enough to call truth, I would say there's enough evidence for plausible speculation. Regardless of whether anyone believes he died of AIDS, I think the truth is always a good thing. I can't think of a single case when the knowing a lie or nothing at all is inarguably better than knowing the truth, can you?

                                      It's been known for some time now among parts of the Israeli public that Arafat was bisexual, and now rumors are spreading over the net and on some newspapers that Arafat may have died of the AIDS virus. The French Government will not release the reasons for his death or condition. It is to be kept a family secret. It does not take an expert to figure out what killed this man. The indications over the weeks were that his immune system was defective and that he suffered from some kind of virus. All the symptoms pointed to Aids (HIV). This is the only disease that disgraces and humiliates a person, and the only one that someone would want kept secret. Now stories are[^] appearing[^] that suggest his illness is being kept under wraps to preserve his apparent good standing in the world community. One Whitehouse rep is quoted as saying, "We know he has a blood disease that is depressing his immune system. We know that he has suddenly dropped considerable weight -- possibly as much as one-third of all his body weight. We know that he is suffering intermittent mental dysfunction. What does this sound like?" It'll be interesting to see if the French government will continue to supress the truth and keep it a secret.

                                      Personally I could care less. I like to listen to Queen because I like the music, what Freddy M did in his spare time was his business. I don't particularly like Arafat, but my opinion of him is not changed by his sexuality or cause of death. Christian I have several lifelong friends that are New Yorkers but I have always gravitated toward the weirdo's. - Richard Stringer

Was that what his wife meant by 'his successors are trying to bury him alive"? You don't think both the French and his wife would be telling us if the diagnosis involved poisoning? I have no clue what killed Arafat. I also feel no need to know more than that he is gone. My whole point here is that the spreading of unfounded speculation as to the cause of his death helps no one. And his family is entitled to keep it to themselves if they wish. Why would anyone waste time arguing with an accountant about anything? Their sole function is to record what happenned, and any higher aspirations are mere delusions of grandeur.

Would it not be better to let his family preserve whatever dignity they can, and simply move on. Is there any benefit to using his death to sow more seeds of hatred? Weren't enough sown during his life? I agree to a point. If this is nothing more than mythmaking about the aids there is nothing to be served by it. If true his devotees will not believe it, and if false, his detractors will not believe it. It only serves to cloud other possibilities. Hmmmm? Otoh, if he did die of radioactive poisoning I would hope folks take notice. Best, Jerry

                                          Radiation is not particularly selective. If that was involved, I would expect to see his bodygaurds begin to drop soon...
