NAIROBI, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Kenyan immigration authorities have arrested and plan to deport the U.S. author of a critical book about presidential candidate Barack Obama before a launch in Nairobi, witnesses and local media said on Tuesday. Jerome Corsi, who penned "The Obama Nation," arrived at a Nairobi hotel to present his book in Kenya, but was quickly whisked away by immigration officials, witnesses said. "He was walking in and then some immigration officers who were following him snatched him," a hotel worker told Reuters. "It happened so fast, they just vanished with him." Obama is revered in Kenya for his paternal roots here and as a flagbearer for Africa on the international stage. Corsi's book, which critics say is meant to hurt Obama's poll prospects next month, questions whether he could still be using drugs and insinuates the Democratic candidate is Muslim. Kenyan TV station KTN said Corsi may be sent home due to lack of a work permit. Kenyan government officials declined to comment

Well, if it's only because of a lack of a work permit, and not some sort of strong arm tactics to silence him, then it is understand able.
That story is wrong. Nobody goes to Kenya to promote a book. He was there to investigate Obama's ties with Raila Odinga, a guy who claims to be his cousin and who he held in such high regard that he interrupted his New Hampshire campaigning to speak to him on the phone. Odinga claims to be a Marxist and a Muslim who led his followers to burn Christians to death right inside their own churches.
This is like a crystal ball: Life in America after Obama is elected (if, God forbid, that happens).
"...insinuates the Democratic candidate is Muslim."
Thus far, only a recurring nightmare:
On a Saturday after his election, ABC News reports President Obama and his family, who apparently just converted to Islam, were spotted entering a Virginia Mosque.
Michele and the girls were attired in matching burqas.
Uh... I was being sarcastic.
