Whether or not Corsi backs off his correct earlier analysis, Smith’s Kenyan BC is an obvious fake:
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108005
The document appears to have the following defects:
1. Kenyan news sources have called into question the use of “Coast Province” or “Coast Provincial” as a correct reference to the official name of the Mombasa general public hospital in 1961, citing Professor Dan Branch of the University
of Warwick who noted that the term “Coast Province” was not used in the early 1960s when Kenyan provinces were typically referred to as “regions.”
2. Until 1964, Kenya was the Dominion of Kenya, not the Republic of Kenya, and Mombasa was part of Zanzibar until Dec. 12, 1963, not a coastal province of Kenya.
3. Dr. James O.W. Ang’awa, the physician who was named in the document as the attending physician at Obama’s birth, was a physician who worked in Kenya during the 1960s; however, he worked at Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi. Dr. James O.W. Ang’awa never worked at any hospital in Mombasa.
4. The dates on the document are formatted in U.S. style, listing in order the month, day and year; this is not the British format which typically follows the order of day, month and year.
5. The footprint on the document appears nearly perfect in definition; real infant footprints
typically show signs of smudging because of foot movement.
6. The footprint on the document is densely black, revealing few natural lines on the sole of the foot; footprints used for document identification are typically inked much lighter to allow for natural lines to be clearly apparent.
7. Footprints taken for document identification are typically taken for both feet, just as fingerprints taken for identification are typically taken for both hands.
8. The document does not look remotely like the 1961-era birth certificates used in Kenya; infant footprints were not displayed on Kenyan birth certificates in the 1961-era.
Errors in Corsi's rebuttal of the Ebay birth certificate
"I make no determination of the validity of the so-called ebay birth certificate that purports to show Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya. Jerome Corsi has concluded that the document is likely a forgery at this article though:
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108773
While this may end up being proven upon closer examination of the claimed document, the reasons Corsi has listed for making this determination are factually flawed and need to be reexamined.
OBJECTION: The Ebay certificate identifies the hospital as "Coast Province General Hospital." Corsi considers this suspicious, because it is usually referred to as "Coast Provincial" in Kenya.
TRUTH: "Coast Province General Hospital" was the name used for the hospital in official British Government documents in 1961. This is proven by the British Colonial Office's Report on the Colony and Protectorate of Kenya for 1960, which uses the name and includes a description of the number of beds in the hospital.
OBJECTION: Mombasa is said to have been a part of Zanzibar until 1963
TRUTH: Mombasa was NOT part of Zanzibar, but rather the British Protectorate of East Africa. Zanzibar - an island off the coast of Africa - was part of this same protectorate. Historically, the sultanate of Zanzibar owned a 10 mile strip of coast on the mainland that included Mombasa. When Britain gained protectorate control of Zanzibar in 1890 it obtained a permanent lease on this strip of land (similar to Hong Kong). Mombasa even became the capital of British East Africa until 1905 before it was moved to Nairobi and from the 1890's until independence, Mombasa was under British control. The only connection to Zanzibar was the lease, and one of the conditions of Zanzibar's independence at the same time as Kenya's was ceding any claim to the leased land to the new country of Kenya. If you want proof that Mombasa was part of the Kenya colony, just look at any historical map before Kenya's independence.
OBJECTION: It is claimed that Mombasa was not part of a Coast Province of Kenya because of the Zanzibar issue.
TRUTH: In addition to refuting the Zanzibar claim, historical British documents do indeed prove that Mombasa was the capital of a region that was called the "Seyidie Province" or "Southern Coastal Province" from 1905 onward. As the Colonial Office report linked above indicates, this region was known as the "Coast Province" by 1960
OBJECTION: It is claimed that there is no documentation that the doctor on the ebay certificate was at the Coast Province hospital.
TRUTH: While no document tying Dr. James O.W. Ang'awa to the hospital has emerged yet, he was definitely practicing medicine in Mombasa in 1961."

WOSG, Obama is going down one way or another for all his lies and deceit.
6. The footprint on the document is densely black, revealing few natural lines on the sole of the foot; footprints used for document identification are typically inked much lighter to allow for natural lines to be clearly apparent.
It looks like a real baby footprint...natural lines are clearly apparent. Smudges, who says all baby ink foot prints have to have smudges - LoL!
BTW, Corsi came out with another article later on about this subject. I see you didn't post that one. Snicker*
