API to sue Fox News Network next week for breach of agreement on the Michelle Obama tape

Posted by africanpress on January 8, 2009

The time has come when the truth has to come out on what happened about the intended release of the now - much talked about - Michelle Obama tape and the Imam’s document on Obama.

Many may have believed to this day that there was no deal between API and Fox News Network. We can now say there was a deal and API will take legal action against two Fox News Network employees who broke the agreement on the tape.

API has investigated the case and has found out that the two officers did not inform their superiors about the deal they entered with API. Therefore, API has taken a decision to sue the two employees for having deprived Americans the truth, and yet they had taken the responsibility on behalf of Fox News Network to enable the release of the tape after its verification.

API will be suing for financial compensation and the return of the tapes.

More details on how much the compensation being sought amounts to, and who the two officers are - a man and a woman - will be made public the same time the case is being filed in the court.

The lawyers who handled the situation will also be enjoined in the case and made answerable for the failure to release the tapes and the Imam’s document on the Birth of Obama as agreed.

Many readers may have thought that API has misled them on the tape existence. This has caused a great deal of confusion. The readers have not understood that API’s hands were tied because of signed agreements that does not allow any party to make the signed documents public.

In court, however, parties have the right to produce the documents backing the case without being accused by any one for breaking agreed terms - not to make anything public.

API is hoping that by the order from the court, that the tapes and the Imam document will be made public by the same people who had taken the responsibility. API will seek orders from the court to direct the two Fox News Network Officers to take the responsibility and complete what they took upon themselves almost 3 months ago.
