Dear Governor Lingle:
This is a public follow up to my earlier letter to Chiyome L. Fukino, MD, Hawaii’s Director of Public Health. Dr. Fukino has not responded to my earlier letter. I am now inquiring with you as to why the State of Hawaii has been violating its Open Records Law and § 338-18 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes by refusing to make public the birth records of a major party presidential candidate in which all Americans have a direct and tangible interest.
Might it be time to allow sunlight in to disinfect Hawaii’s secretive Public Health Department?
Sincerely,
Mitchell Langbert, Ph.D.
Cc: Dr. Chiyome L. Fukino, MD

It's the Jewish Lobby's Fault
By CHARLES HUTZLER, Associated Press Writer

BEIJING - In an audacious and deadly attack just days ahead of the Beijing Olympics, two men from a mainly Muslim ethnic group rammed a truck and hurled explosives at jogging policemen in China's restive far west Monday, killing 16.
The attack in a city near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border brought an immediate response from China's Olympic organizers, who pronounced security precautions ready to ensure safety in Beijing and other Olympic venues when the games open Friday.
Yet the timing so close to opening day heightened the attack's shock value and bore the hallmarks of local Muslim militants, said Li Wei, a counterterrorism expert affiliated with the government.

TexasDarlin on Obama Birth Certificate--Previous Owner Was Female
TexasDarlin has several fascinating posts on the Obama birth certficate, h/t Contrairimairi, Larwyn and Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs, indicating that the owner of the fraudulent Obama birth certificate presented on the Daily Kos site was female (and presumably could not have been Obama, but who knows?).
TD notes that two different Honolulu hospitals have records of Obama's birth.
On July 8 TexasDarlin asked:
"In which hospital was Obama born: Queens Medical Center or Kapiolani Medical Center? I read that Obama himself refuses to answer this question. Is that true?
Likewise the State of Hawaii continues to develop an image as a state that excels in secrecy in government. TD notes:
Recent calls to both hospitals to get confirmation of Obama’s birth led nowhere. A colleague reports:
“At Queens, I was told it was private information and I had to fill out a medical request form (needs to be signed by BO). I then said ‘Oh I thought it would be common knowledge in Hawaii which hospital he was born at.’ She then laughed nervously and said “Ah no” and told me again that I needed the form."
Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs has an analysis and report here, here and here.

Open Letter to Mr. George Soros and Open Society Institute Re Obama Birth Certificate
Mr. George Soros
Open Society Institute

Dear Mr. Soros:
You have made a point of claiming that you believe in an "open society" and you have assertively backed Barack Obama's candidacy. At present, the State of Hawaii has violated the requirements of its Open Records Law and § 338-18 of its statute concerning birth records by refusing to provide Barack Obama’s birth certificate to every American. Yet, every American has a direct and tangible interest in seeing this information first hand. I have written to Mr. Obama and asked that he open this information to society and he has not responded. Instead, Obama supporters have offered a fraudulent birth certificate via a Web site. I am curious as to how Mr. Obama's willingness to engage in manipulative secrecy jibes with your belief in an open society. Do you continue to support Mr. Obama's candidacy despite his indifference to an open society?
Some have argued that Mr. Obama's birth certificate is not problematic and that he is merely manipulating public opinion, intending to reveal favorable information at an opportune time. If so, is this sort of political manipulation the foundation of your interpretation of what the term "open society" ought to mean?
Sincerely,
Mitchell Langbert
