The AP reports:
The American author of a best-selling book attacking Barack Obama as unfit for the presidency was being deported from Kenya on Tuesday, a criminal investigations official said.
Jerome Corsi, who wrote “The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality,” was picked up by police Tuesday for not having a work permit, said Carlos Maluta, a senior immigration official in charge of investigations.
He was briefly detained at immigration headquarters before being brought to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for deportation, said Joseph Mumira, head of criminal investigations at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
NPR reports further (no link, sorry) that Corsi was arrested at the hotel where he was about to launch the Kenyan edition of his book.
Will Obama issue a statement defending Corsi’s right to free speech? We’ll see.
UPDATE: Nope.
