They had to do it to get him into that school. Now one might question why they wanted him in that school instead of an American School.
It goes right along with the idea that they were involved with intelligence operations.
Also, they had already gone with the plot line that he was born in Hawaii...so it is a continuation...
he may have been born in Hawaii..we just don’t know yet.
What? What plot line? I don’t get it. Why wouldn’t they just say he was born in Kenya or Indonesia or wherever he was actually born? What would it matter at that point?
