a pro-Western lady from Iraq

The Asylum officer asked:
-show me your passport! when was it issued? when expire?
Do you know all of your international travel?
Really? OK, tell me!
-you suffered harm in your country in 2010, you departed from this "dangerous" country, and then you voluntarily returned to it? So, I guess it is really not so dangerous, correct?
=
why would anyone voluntarily return to the country that is so full of danger?
=
let's see if you can repeat everything on page one of Form I-589: DOB? POB?
-can you repeat everything on pages 2-3?
Can you repeat everything on page 4?
When did you attend your first school?
Who prepared your application?
was it read back to you in your language?
Why did you visit Moscow? how long were you there?
Why did you visit Kinshasa? how long were you there?
Why didn't you ask for asylum in London? why the long delay?
=
So, why did you apply for asylum?
You fear whom?
The militias want to kill you? why?
What is the motive of the bad guys?
Are there six boxes on page 5 of Form I-589? is one of them, "a criminal robbed you and took your money?"
-did you report this problem to the police? why not?
=
your brother was injured? how? why? what weapons did the bad guys use?
What did the bad guys say, as they were hitting your brother?
Did brother or you file a report with the police?
You say your government does not protect you from the bad guys? if you do not tell the government about your problems, why would you expect the government to help you?
-is it OK for an asylum officer to deny asylum, because the applicant did not make a police report?
Is there anything else?
