    The strange death of Yasser Arafat
    http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opi...124401527.html

    If this is true (and it seems that it is), then quite frankly I am disgusted that such high powers believe they are above the law like this. Not saying that I am not surprised, just disappointed and a bit angry, resorting to cheap tactics (not materialistically but morally).

    I am also angry with the double standards being displayed, whereby powerful countries can abuse their powers and then point the fingers at others for less serious situations, then again, that is what you get in this world.

    What are your thoughts?

    Link doesn't work, and also, aids doesn't give higher radiation counts.

    He wasn't poisoned. Polonium may be dangerous but PLO-nium has been known to cause more deaths.

    Yes, it's a very unstable element that is known to cause explosions on planes and buses. Occasionally it attacks athletes.

    Careful now. You're in danger of becoming a Sadomasochistic, necrophiliac, beastlialist.
