We interrupt this election...

…for news on the Arafat Health Front. It seems to be improving for now, although we may not ever know what is really wrong:

Questioned about Arafat’s diagnosis, a French medical officer who stood by as Shahid read the statement said it was not possible to disclose any information about his condition under French law.

This couldn’t have something to do with why the caudillo chose France… could it?
