The author of a best-selling book on Barack Obama says he didn't know what was going to happen to him during a frightening 13-hour detention in Kenya. As it turns out, the story has a connection to the Democratic presidential candidate.

Dr. Jerome Corsi's latest book is The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality -- which at one point occupied the top spot of the New York Times best-seller list.
 
The author says he traveled to Kenya to investigate Senator Obama's relationship with radical Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Corsi says just before he was ready to conduct a news conference to reveal his findings, he was detained by Kenyan immigration and military officials and was held for several hours.
 
"For those 13 hours I had no idea what was going to happen -- a very, very frightening experience," Corsi shares. "[But] it was clear...through the course of the day that Odinga did not want the information [I was prepared to share] released in Kenya. And so I'm sure the Obama-Odinga camp considered what I came up with in Kenya too explosive to allow the press conference to happen."
 
The information he wanted to present in Kenya, says Corsi, had to do with an agreement Odinga signed with a radical Muslim leader in exchange for Islamic votes in the 2006 election for president.
 
"And Odinga agreed to sign this memorandum of understanding to expand Sharia law, or Islamic law, to get Muslims to vote for him," he explains. "And Obama started campaigning for Odinga, [and] raised a million dollars...in the United States for Odinga's presidential campaign in Kenya."
 
According to Corsi, the only other major contributor to Odinga was Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
