NAIROBI, Kenya – The government of Kenya is holding WND senior staff reporter Jerome Corsi in custody at immigration headquarters after police picked him up at his hotel just prior to a scheduled news conference in which he planned to announce the findings of his investigation into Barack Obama's connections in the country.
Corsi, the author of the No. 1 best-selling book "The Obama Nation," was picked up by authorities at his hotel at 9:45 a.m. and is being detained at Nyayo House, the provincial headquarters for Nairobi.
"Just as we were about to start the 10 a.m. press conference at the Grand Regency Hotel in Nairobi, Kenyan immigration approached us and detained us. Tim Bueler, my publicist, and I are now in the immigration offices, with our passports taken. The immigration officer told the press, 'There is no problem, and Dr. Corsi is a friend of Kenya.'"
Corsi had extensive meetings with top Kenyan officials upon his arrival. His visit and his activities during his stay have been well-known to authorities at the highest levels

I don’t think Corsi planned this. He was talking to Quinn and Rose this morning while this was happening and I think he sounded quite shook up.
Get the podcast of the show later today and listen. It’s free on WHLO Akron/Canton - http://www.640whlo.com/main.html -or- subscribe (worth it!) on http://warroom.com/
I posted the story at FR at 9:22 from Drudge’s site.
McCain should ask Obama to have "your family, which runs Kenya" to release Corsi.
Jerome Corsi, anti-Obama author, detained in Kenya [a $1,000 cheque for George Obama....]
AP and al Reuters have handy photos of Corsi walking the hall of the Immigration Dept. prior to being taken to the airport for deportation.
then I was sleeping... but it still was late getting on drudge site. I was lead on foxnews.com for some time..
Correction—the two photos are both AP.
Time for the MSM to ask Obama about this, perhaps Fox will do it.
Will this be happening in the US if Obozo is president???
What a ballsy and beautifully executed move, a real man !!
