The body isn't even cold yet... Hold on, there isn't even a body yet

Israel is already making concrete plans for Arafat's burial, producing written reports and everything. Which begs the question: do they know something we don't?
(The report, by the way, apparently discusses three ways of death: "an Israeli military operation, a prolonged illness, or a short, natural death." Is it just me, or is there something a little disarming about the blasé way in which these three options, particularly the first, unnatural one, are rattled off?)
