The Arafat Conspiracy?

Digger has proposed that the circumstances surrounding Arafat's presumably pending demise are being manipulated by his Palestinian colleagues in a power struggle. Through disinformation and posturing, Arafat's allies/enemies are maneuvering to grab the support of the Palestinian population once he's buried. That's the theory.

Personally, I seldom buy into conspiracies. It's hard enough to get one person to follow a conspiratorial plot much less groups of people. As for the Palestinians, they have historically fought among themselves because they can't agree on how to deal with the Israelis. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad act autonomously most of the time.

I'll believe a conspiracy exists when it's exposed.
