As I understand it, most dual citizens have 2 passports: one from both countries. In the past, some have used this to their advantage by departing one country as a US national, for example, and presenting their other passport to the officials at their destination.

Thus, the country of destination has no record of an American citizen of that name arriving. (Quite often, the names on the two passports are different as well for a number of legitimate reasons). This is quite useful if there is a request for extradition as the person being sought can claim they are in the country not as a U.S. national but as a citizen of the other country.
