What people are disputing is the notion that he could not have gone there on a US passport. By all accounts, there was nothing stopping a US citizen from going to Pakistan in 1981 on a US passport.
You are correct.
I completely bungled that question.
I was actually trying to raise this issue:
Did Obama have a USA passport when he traveled in 1981?
I have read that legal requests have been made to confirm that Obama had a USA passport in 1981.
I have also read that Obamas lawyers have blocked all those requests.
I've Googled all the best known lawsuits, but I can't find the link for this.
I'll get back to you when I dig it out.
Obviously, if Obama was traveling internationally in 1981 without a USA passport, that would raise some very interesting questions.
