why did Clark make sure everyone knew he kidnapped Lois?

My initial thought was that Clark wanted to make it look like he kidnapped Lois to keep suspicion off of Superman. Kidnapping would be a snap for the Man of Steel, but Superman is a hero and needs the world to trust him in order to do his job. On the other hand, Clark (or any other mortal human) would need to struggle to kidnap Lois Lane, even if she is an amnesiac. After all, doesn't she hold the world record for kidnappings? <bg>
Plus, maybe Perry and Jimmy are going to investigate Deter in the background. Chances are, Deter will do something to give himself away and then it'll be safer for Lois to come home, even if she hasn't regained her memory. As ML mentioned in part 1, Clark wants her love, but he's also concerned for her safety.
You know, Call-me-Daniel Scardino gets a lot of flak in the fandom for his interest in Lois, but at least his pursuit was honest. Lois wasn't even engaged at that point. Deter and his underhanded tactics are what really makes me cringe.
