Maybe the Palestinians know enough to not believe their own bullshit.
RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian justice minister says investigators looking into the circumstances of Yasser Arafat’s death want to review reports from a Swiss lab before deciding on exhuming his remains.
Last week, the lab said it found elevated traces of a radioactive agent, polonium-210, on Arafat’s clothing. The results were inconclusive, but revived speculation that he was poisoned.
Earlier this week, Saeb Erekat, a top aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said a decision has been made to dig up Arafat’s remains and test them for polonium.
Watch out! Looks like Arafat’s going in for a big one!
But in an apparent reversal, Justice Minister Ali Mohanna told a news conference on Thursday that Palestinian officials first want to examine the full lab report. He says after the review, “we will decide what testing we need to do.”

Editor’s Notes: It appears that some peeps in the Palestinian camp want to hide any proof that Arafat was gay. As I wrote in a blog post the other day, Jimmy Carter and Arafat loved playing grab-ass during Carter’s visits.
These two were more than simple bosom buddies. Rumor has it Jimmy Carter was Yasir Arafat’s Boy Toy and their favorite game was for Jimmy to guess where Yassy hid his peanut. Jimmy’s term of endearment for Arafat was Sassy Yassy. Arafat called him That stupid American tool who likes to smoke my hookah.
Yasir [a.k.a. Yasser] Arafat is still dead. True, he was once alive. I sat across from him in his Gaza office, for example. And he even had a copy of my history of the PLO on his bookshelf so he must have been of sound mind at the time. It’s not my fault. I told him to start jogging and cut down on sweets. But he didn’t listen. On November 4, 2004, he died, a fate he had previously imposed on thousands of far more innocent people.
