They're offering AMD procs on their website. However, they're so expensive it's probably just a political move to force Intel to give them a better deal.

What would be interesting is if Intel told Dell to start selling these procs so that they have a better foot to stand on when AMD says they're monopolistic in the trial. Oooooooooooh.............backroom dirty fighting

One of the smartest things they've ever done:

Eliminated the rebates to just give lower prices all the time.

hmm maybe your skim reading missed this
Updated 2/8/2008
We recently spoke with a Dell representative Anne Camden who wished to clarify the recent happenings on Dell's website. First of all, Dell has since removed the "Computers with AMD processors are not available online" disclaimer from its website. Whether this was a slip-up on Dell's part remains to be seen.
Secondly, Dell Latitude, Vostro and Optiplex systems using AMD processors will continue to be made available on Dell's website.

You're also (paritally) a victim of the news update like I was
Finally, AMD-based Inspiron notebooks will no longer be offered on Dell.com. Only the Energy Star 4.0 Inspiron 531 desktop lives on through Dell.com. Inspiron notebooks and the rest of the Inspiron desktop family will only be available from retail stores such as Wal-Mart and Staples.
Despite the general consensus that I just sit on the 'net refreshing pages, it's not exactly the case
EDIT:
Two articles where Dell explains what's going on:
