man from Columbia who feared the FARC

The Assistant Chief Counsel asked: 1] do you have personal knowledge of the attack; i.e. did you see something with your own eyes? 2] when John talked to you, did you see any emotions on his face? when he spoke, did you perceive any emotions? was he nervous, agitated, anxious? talking rapidly; crying? rubbing his hands?

2] after the attack, did you make a report to the police? why not? have other people reported similar things to the police, and got no results? did the bad guys specifically order you to NOT report to the police?

3] where did you live, and where did you work, from January 2001 to December 2005.
4] you lived in the city of Bogota? the bad guys made phone threats? so why not move to another city? isn't "internal relocation" possible for you? can the bad guys really find people, everywhere?
5] you suffered no physical harm, from 2002 to 2004, correct?
6] was there a time period where the threats diminished? you will admit at times you had no problems? what are "credibility enhancers"?
7] shouldn't a family always stay together? isn't "family unity" a real principal? how come you were separated from your wife?
8] what did the bad guys want from you? according to them, how could you redeem yourself?
9] what was the political opinion of the bad guys? what was your political opinion? did the bad guys know your opinion? how did they find out? how do you know, that they knew?
