questions asked of a "pro-American" from Iraq

The Asylum Officer asked: When you helped the US Army, what were your duties? did you live inside the Green Zone?
-where did you live in Baghdad? where did you sleep at night? why did you move around so often and stay at so many different places?
-who lives now at the house on 39th Street? who owns that house?
-who lives now at the house on 3rd Street? who owns that house? how is rent paid? rent is paid to whom?
Tell me about all of your passports: when was passport #1 issued? when does it expire?
-when does passport #2 expire? where is it, physically, right now? in Baghdad? in whose hands?
=
when you saw the death threat, how did you feel? what thoughts went through your mind?
-your daughter was missing for two days? when you finally saw her, what did you notice about her? what did she tell you?
Who kidnapped your daughter? why? why did they let her go?
Did you report her kidnapping to the police? why not?
After the threat, why not move immediately? why not report it to the police? did you tell anyone about it?
Are you still receiving threats? NO? OK, so maybe the bad guys have forgotten about you?
-January 6th is an important day in Iraq, because it is the "birthday" of the Army?
what would happen if you returned to your country tomorrow?
is there anything else?
