Rumors and lies
Original post May 27th 10:00pm Pacific Daylight
Interesting...
I am applying the 48-hour but here are two sets of data that contradict:
Some bloggers are reporting that:
King Fahd of Saudi Arabia has been dead since Wednesday
And we have Friday's release from
Reuters:
Saudi King Fahd doing well in hospital-agency
A good Litmus Test, mais non?
UPDATE: May 28th 8:00pm Pacific Daylight
Reuters is still running the story. Searching
Google News with "King Fahd" gets lots of hits on how he is stable, improving, tired, etc...
Searching
Google News for "King Fahd dead" pulls up 92 entries, a lot of which aren't relevant (one page talking about the King and also mentioning the passing of someone else). Still,
UPI has him as dead since last Wednesday, so does
Italian source ADNKI (they say he is clinically dead).
Shades of Arafat being stable in the French hospital. Anyone is stable when their body temperature is in the 30's in the morgue refrigerator...
