However, a WND investigation has found that at least part of Berg's lawsuit relies on discredited claims.This is a poorly worded sentence. I grouped it in bold the way I interpret it but left the rest to avoid self serving quotes...
The lawsuit claims Barack Obama's eligibility is questionable on several grounds, including the allegation that he was born in Kenya to parents unable to automatically grant him American citizenship, that his Hawaii birth certificate is a forgery – a now discredited claim – that he was made a citizen of Indonesia as a child and that he retained foreign citizenship into adulthood without recording an oath of allegiance to regain any theoretical American citizenship.
In short, the suit claims Obama was not born an American citizen; lost any hypothetical American citizenship he had as a child (Editor's note: This point is not supported by U.S. citizenship law);I hope they plan on publishing the names and qualifications of these experts. It doesn't say if they had the actual document or scans.A separate WND investigation into Obama's birth certificate utilizing forgery experts also found the document to be authentic.
The investigation also revealed methods used by some of the bloggers to determine the document was fake involved forgeries, in that a few bloggers added text and images to the certificate scan that weren't originally there.It would be nice to know which bloggers added text. That's a pretty serious charge that should be substantiated. Which bloggers did this?
The claim could not be verified by WND inquiries to Hawaiian hospitals, since state law bars the hospitals from releasing medical records to the public. ...It's the law folks. See earlier links.However, there doesn't seem to be any evidence Ann Dunham expatriated. Also, consulting citizenship experts contend that if Obama indeed obtained Indonesian citizenship, it simply would not have been recognized by the U.S., but the presidential candidate would retain his American citizenship.
A WND investigation could not find any proof Obama used an Indonesian passport to travel to Pakistan. However, WND noted that Pakistan in 1981 was under military rule and that it was difficult for U.S. citizens to travel to the country without assistance – meaning, it would have been easier to enter Pakistan on an Indonesian passport.But it doesn't matter because a dual national (if he was one) using his foreign passport (if he had one) is not grounds for losing American citizenship.
I wouldn't take WND's word for anything, but it would be nice to see the actual evidence they have collected.
And as you said -- who is accused of adding text and images?
We know that there were a number of joke images where text and images were added.
