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

Unless our State Dept gets involved, Corsi will be released one day after election day.

McCain should bring this up tonight.

How lame can you get, picking the guy up on “immigration charges”.

“I’m shocked, shocked that your papers aren’t in order!”

It’s unfortunate that Corsi did not start his press conference an hour earlier than announced to the Kenyan government

Who knows what they may now have “discovered” in his luggage or hotel room

Suspect Corsi planned this detention as a method to get attention.

I doubt he would have scheduled a press conference to announce he found nothing...

hopefully Obama’s real birth certificate or a passport record is on the way across the Med/Atlantic as we speak

Corsi was to report Odinga's 2007 presidential campaign strategy called for exploiting anti-Kikuyu tribal sentiments, claiming victory and charging voter fraud even if the campaign knew the election had been legitimately lost. Odinga, Corsi said, also was willing to fan the flames of ethnic tribal tensions and use violence as a last resort by calling for mass action that led to the destruction of properties, injuries, loss of life and the displacement of over 500,000 Kenyans. The purpose was to compel the Electoral Commission of Kenya to declare him the winner or enable him to declare himself the winner by force.

A view of things to come ?

Against the law to “lie” about some candidates apparently — kinda like Missouri.
