Why not? Seems like they went to a lot of trouble to avoid getting a US passport otherwise.

Regarding Pakistan, the theory I read was that circa 1980 they were Soviet allies, and the State Department either had a warning or a prohibition against Americans going there. Ergo BHO used an Indonesian passport because it facilitated travel.

I would add that it would require time and money to apply for a US passport, so if he already had an Indonesian passport obtained years earlier in Jakarta, using it might just have been the easier thing to do.

From what I could see, there were no travel restrictions to Pakistan for Americans in 1980. Pakistan was an ally of the USA against the Russian invasion of Afghanistan.

Obamas continued use of an Indonesian Passport after attaining the age of majority is a rather curious phenomenon, all the more curious because no statement has been made in relation to it by any campaign spokesperson.

As an aside, if he had a US passport, his travels to Pakistan would have been likely historically traceable. The use of the Indonesian one gives complete untraceability.

Very interesting indeed.

I simply do not believe he had a valid LBC at the time from Hawaii.
