I will back up what I said. I will not back your straw man.
His step grandmother Sarah Obama Onyango (i.e. the woman actually married to the guy) has repeatedly testified to his arrest and torture. She is also (according to his book) the source of Obama's version.
QED: It is stupid, malicious and false to claim that Obama lied about it.

So... what we have is dueling testimony (after 63 years) between the woman who was married to Onyango, and a number of people alleged to have have been acquaintances.
Factually it's a snoozer. Rhetorically it's stupid, false and malicious.

Like I said earlier, Obama has a lineage full of liars, where do you think he gets it from?
Seeing that Obama was only relating what his Grandmother told him, how is Obama lying?
My grandmother used to tell me that she and her 10 sisters and brothers, walked to school every morning, from their family farm on Maui. Said that it was a long walk. My high school report about plantation workers and their lives included this anecdote by my grandmother.
10 years after her death while researching my family for a personal project, I found out that:
1) her family farm was only 2 miles from the school she attended (she dropped out in 5th grade since it was better to work than to go to school)
2) that only she and two of her sisters walked together (not all of her siblings) All her other siblings were much older and were already working in the Plantation fields.
So, did I lie in my report? No. I'm not responsible for what my grandmother told, for which I thought it was the truth.
Looking at how Obama is stepping on his OWN "junk" in 2012; who cares about what happened about his father's father if it can't be proven either way? Sheesh!
