After months of push-back and guff from Hawaii Bennett was cowed into asking for a "verification letter".

Bennett specifically requested, "please verify that the attached copy of the Certificate of Live Birth for Mr. Obama is a true and accurate representation of the original record in your files."

Onaka replied, "I verify that the information in the copy of the Certificate of Live Birth for Mr. Obama that you attached with your request matches the original record in our files"

Onaka refused Bennett's specific request.

All that Hawaiian officials can do is what Hawaiian law permits. What the law says is that “the department of health, upon request, shall furnish ... a verification of the existence of a certificate and any other information that the applicant provides to be verified relating to the vital event that pertains to the certificate.”

Regardless of the fact that Bennett requested “a true and accurate representation of the original record in your files,” letters of verification under Hawaiian law do not purport to be accurate representations of records. Rather, they are verifications of the information contained in the records, and that’s just what the letter does.

And, because it is a self-authenticating document, unless it is successfully rebutted it establishes the truth of the information it contains.

What Zullo said about AZ SoS Ken Bennett looking for a way out.

“We have developed incontrovertible proof that the verification provided by the Hawaii Department of Health to Arizona’s secretary of state on May 22 really doesn’t verify anything of significance.”

and

“I knew when I met with Mr. Bennett last week in Phoenix, before we left for Hawaii, that he was desperately trying to get out of the political corner he had painted himself into.”

And again Zullo.

“Bennett obviously believed Obama was telling the truth. He was shocked when Hawaii didn’t immediately issue the verification. As it dragged on into weeks, Bennett became desperate to do whatever Hawaii asked to get what amounts to even this meaningless letter.”

As we see here, Bennett would have accepted any legalese BS or silly mumbo jumbo to show.
