5:00pm A new entry at the African Press International Web site admonishes me for publishing the e-mail exchange between editor-in-chief Korir and WorldNetDaily's Jerome Corsi. Let me be perfectly clear here: I had express authorization from Jerome Corsi to make public the e-mail exchange in question. "They know I'm a writer. They know what I do for a living," Corsi said. "Anybody who corresponds with me in that capacity and does not specify that their correspondence is off-the-record knows that it is on-the-record. Their e-mail did not contain any such language, and it was treated accordingly." Let me get this straight -- I am not out to mince words, fabricate facts, or slander anybody. In fact, even last night I questioned whether or not the initial article at African Press International was indeed a complete fraud, and therefore an example of African Press International's decision to knowingly publish inaccurate information about, and fabricated statements falsely associated with, Michelle Obama. If anyone should be looking over their shoulder for a libel suit, it's the folks at African Press International. That is, unless they can provide evidence of the conversation which had purportedly taken place between their staff and the wife of a major--the major--American presidential candidate. In the recent article, the editorial staff at African Press International maintains that they are indeed in possession of an audio recording, that it will "be released when we are satisfied it is not intended to be misused in any way or for any gains by an group," and that the Barack Obama campaign should not be so quick to denounce the statements made by API as patently false. "They should wait until they get all the facts on the table before making any conclussions [sic]," the article reads. "They should not think they control all calls Mrs. Obama makes." With this recent non-admission, I'm resigned to say that I was correct to begin with. This whole thing smelled like a complete fraud. While it may have succeeded in drawing more attention to the questions surrounding the Illinois senator and to Philip Berg's lawsuit in particular, we should wash our hands of this matter unless audiotape or certified telephone log evidence is released. As one of the readers here at America's Right wrote, perfectly, to me in an e-mail: "It sounds like someone is trying to get me to buy a car and ship it to their second cousin in Nigeria." Agreed. I couldn't have said it better myself. Corsi also agrees that, sans audiotape, the article at African Press International is not credible, stating that as far as he is concerned, until an audiotape or similar evidence is produced verifying the statements as Michelle Obama's, the story is just that -- a story. "They write that they don't want to release the tape for fear they will influence the election doesn't add up," Corsi said. "If that is the case, why'd they write the story in the first place?" americasright.com
