#2 Corsi is also a critic of GWBush (regarding the so-called NAFTA superhighway and the NAmerican Union).

However the problem was probably his criticism of a Kenyan big shot.

#4 Joe Farah was on Fox this morning saying he was there to investigate Obama's ties to the Kenyan president. He was also reportedly carrying a $1000 check from Farah to Obama's impoverished half-brother there.

#5 Poor old Corsi has just redefined the term nieve and stupid. I sincerely hope he survives his African adventure.

#6 Update :

The Kenya Government has decided to deport Dr Jerome Corsi, the author of a book critical of US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Immigration officials have been holding him since Tuesday morning as he was due to launch the book, The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality at Laico Hotel, Nairobi.

He was driven to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport accompanied by an aide and he is on his way out of the country, according to a source.

#7 The book is largely seen as a smear campaign meant to undermine the Democratic candidate with charges that his criticism of Mr Obama is anchored on inaccuracies.

You gotta love the way Reuters reporters routinely insert their personal views into news reports.

#8 That is because they are propaganda agents for the left instead of news organizations, Zhang.

#11 While we will probably never know, I suspect he can thank the Obamessiah for his timely release... as opposed to being broiled or deep fried.
