I definitely share the concern..... but I do believe that Taheri (the author of this article) is a VERY serious guy with serious connections. I’ve read quite a few of his articles and he is way beyond the typical journalist. Not saying it couldn’t all crumble or blow up in our faces, but I’d put him above all but a handful of journalists around. I will be astonished if he would go into print with this without great confidence that it will withstand the furious attacks of the left and Democrat journalists, etc.
Yes, I know we can’t hang all of our hopes on Taheri, but I’m certain he’s far above most journalism today.
Oh, yeah...Taheri's one of the good guys. I've read a lot of his stuff and he tends to be objective and right on the money.
I’ve seen him speak, and he’s very, very good. I don’t doubt Prisoner6’s concern, except I don’t think this is that story. I think that story is more likely tied to Obama’s past, whether his birth certificate or something else.

This alone will blow his credibility out of the water as far as the msm is concerned.
That last is an extraordinarily low bar, and I hope you are correct in your overall assessment.
