Can any of the folks who don't think it's a forgery explain why the WND is saying it most likely is?

Notice how Mombassa wasn't EVEN PART of Kenya in 1961...
NEW YORK – The Kenyan birth document released by California attorney Orly Taitz is probably not authentic, according to WND's investigative operatives in Africa, though officials in Nairobi do not rule out the possibility President Obama may indeed have been born in their country.
WND obtained several samples of Kenyan birth certificates in use around Aug. 4, 1961, the date of Obama's birth, showing differences from the Taitz document.
WND reported Sunday on the document Taitz has been trying to authenticate.
She filed a motion in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California requesting the purported evidence of Obama's birth – both the alleged birth certificate and foreign records not yet obtained – be preserved from destruction. She also asked for permission to legally request documents from Kenya and is seeking a subpoena for a deposition from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
"I filed the motion with the court asking for expedited discovery, which would allow me to start subpoenas and depositions even before Obama and the government responds," Taitz told WND then. "I am asking the judge to give me the power to subpoena the documents from the Kenyan embassy and to require a deposition from Hillary Clinton so they will be forced to authenticate [the birth certificate]."
The document she revealed:

But an authentic 1961-era Kenyan birth certificate obtained by WND shows distinct differences.

The verified 1961-era Kenyan birth certificate is described at the top as a "Government of Kenya" document. It includes: Where Born; Name or names; Sex; Father's occupation and rank; Father's nationality; Name and maiden name for mother; Mother's Occupation; Mother's nationality; Signature, description and residence of information; Date of birth; Date of registration; Baptismal name if added or altered after registration of birth; Reference to register.
Kenyan government officials interviewed by WND sources in Kenya have pointed out a key difference in the Taitz document. In 1961, Mombasa was a part of Zanzibar, not the Coast Province of Kenya. The area was later ceded to Kenya.

I wouldn't be so sure it's all over at all. If you think that things cannot be expertly forged you would be very wrong.
Comparing the new typewriter photo to either of the Orly certificates - either the EFL 47044...Or the KFL 47644 there are lots of discrepancies.
The ones I can see are-
1.The smudge covering the word maiden, which is missing as has already been pointed out on the typewriter photo.
2.The staple marks are different at the top left of page on the typewriter photo.
3. The crease at the top on the word 'Province' is too close to the 'P' on the typewriter photo.
4. All the creases are very flat indeed and thin on the typewriter photo. If they were so pronounced on the angled Orly shots they should be even more pronounced on the standing sheet on the typewriter photo.
Sorry, I missed your kind reply. I was working on a little present for you....

Except that this particular document wasn't created in 1961, it was created in 1964. So it doesn't really matter where Mombasa was in 61 I don't think.
