Consider just this one fact: the world media¹s astonishing lack of curiosity about the nature of the disease for which he has sought treatment in France. He has suffered a dramatic weight loss, memory loss and periods of disorientation, loss of muscle control and recurring nausea. His doctors tell us that his blood platelet count has dropped dramatically, but that he does not have leukemia.
These symptoms sound remarkably AIDS-like, don¹t they? An AIDS diagnosis would certainly accord with what is widely known about Arafat¹s personal way of life. (Some of the lurid, homoerotic details can be found in the memoirs of Lt. Gen. Ion Pacepa, former head of Romanian intelligence under Nicolae Ceausescu.)
