Dead or Alive...? In or Out...?

Arafat was dead, no he was alive, no he was in critical condition, no he was getting better, no he has had a hemorrhage, no he is in an induced coma, wait a minute he is dead, not yet he is still alive...

Barghouti then changed his mind, and may change it again.

There must be something to be said against up-to-the-minute news. I for one wouldn't mind waiting till there is something to be said before it is said! I mean seriously, the guy is in JAIL how likely will it be that he will run in the end!
