If I were the risk manager for the LA TIMES I would have pulled the article too. There is the chance that Obama is what he says he is (yeah, I know...) in which case the paper may be exposing itself to the risk of lawsuit with that particular article.

Barack Obama would NEVER sue the LA Times for defamation. Truth is an absolute defense to a defamation suit and all of the concealed birth certificate documents would have to be produced in the pre-trial discovery process.

So, let’s say he released them as a part of pre-trial discovery? And let’s say that they showed him to be a Natural Born American (and maybe showed his Dad to be someone other than who he claims, and all kinds of other interesting-but-irrelevant information).

If that happened, the LA Times would be Poked.
