Day points to AIDS story to explain Arafat snub
The Toronto Star, Monday, November 22, 2004

Stockwell Day is pointing to a published report that includes the suggestion that Yasser Arafat had AIDS in explaining why he didn't send condolences on the death of the PLO leader.

"Some of you have asked why I have not released a statement of condolence or sympathy," the Conservative party's foreign affairs critic wrote in a Nov. 16 e-mail to party colleagues obtained by The Canadian Press.

"As you know, there are two sides to the Arafat story. You pick."
