I just wish this P.O.S. would die already.

Who first reported that Arafat died? It seems that with all his billions, there might be some entrenched Arafat followers that depend on a 2nd opinion that he might still be alive.

I am a reasonable person who will listen to debate, but it seems that Arafat is either alive or dead, but not both. Am I mistaken?

From what I understand, Israeli Channel 2 first reported Arafat dead.
