Lots of unproven assmumptions here

Yes, I agree since I can't support any of this since everything is sealed. But, it has been proven that he travelled to Indonesia in 1981 before heading out to Pakistan. If Pakistan did not allow American Citizens to enter their country at that time would it not have been beneficial for him to re-apply for an Indonesian passport? Again, I can not back up any of this. It is all just questions that I would love to know the answer to. I guess I hate the fact that our President is completely unknown to all of us. For such a high commission we should know a lot more.

There were no prohibitions for Americans entering Pakistan in 1981. There were State Department travel advisories warning amcits about terrorism and other violence. I know that as a fact having travelled to Pakistan frequently during that period, i.e., 1979 to 1981 as part of my official duties in the State Department relating to working with the Pakistani government on the rebuilding of our embassy and apartments, which were burned down in 1979 when a mob attacked it on the rumor that the US was involved in the takeover of the Kaba in Mecca. There were plenty of private amcits in Pakistan.
