Apparently, it was either not allowed or not advised for Americans to travel to Pakistan in 1981, when Obama went (among other times). If the former, Obama’s travel was illegal, or was on a non-American passport.

Whatever the case, these issues/concerns could EASILY be cleared up if Obama has nothing to hide and is willing to give reasonable answers to reasonable questions.

Absent his willingness to be forthcoming, not with dirt-diggers, but with the kind of basic history required to satisfactorally document his life, it would appear he has something to hide.

Well, I don’t know the truth, but other people have shown that is WAS allowed. Plus, I think we need more specifics - WHO didn’t allow it? If it was simply not-advised by the US government, that’s not a “law” that can be broken. And if it was illegal for Americans, and he went on an Indonesian passport, then I guess he didn’t break any law that way, either. If the law forbade American citizens to go there, and he wasn’t an American citizen, then how did he break the law?

It’s just that we “hear” a lot of things on these threads. I think we need to focus on what we have evidence for, or we’re likely to go off wasting time in the wrong direction.

To me, right now, I’ve seen people saying that travel then WAS allowed, and people saying it was NOT. So, rather than choose to believe one or the other, I’d like to see some actual proof.

There are many suspicous things about Obama, that’s for sure. But we need to build on case on premises that have evidence behind them. And since our legal system is based on being innocent until proven guilty, these court cases will probably move further along if they’re based on some evidence, and not on hypotheses. I think perhaps more work has to be done digging for evidence, before these cases go to court....?

Interestingly, a lot of people still say that it was against the law to travel to Pakistan in 1981, but for some reason, not one person has been able to cite the name of the was that made it illegal for Americans to travel to Pakistan?

I wonder why that is?
