#1 Hmmm. Doesn't make sense. Raouf's a Kurd who had his stuff well squared away up north (his frequent and extended "breaks" up there were a major factor in making the Dujayl case last nearly a year). Don't see any reason he'd need to bug out. He was/is a hero in Kurdistan for his role in trying/dispatching the demon from Tikrit - can't see that he'd have any reason, security or otherwise, to flee. Of course there could be the lifestyle question - but if that's it, WTF with the UK - ahemm, the US would be a much better, and equally welcoming, new home.

#4 Also thinking lifestyle upgrade. The UK has maybe the most lenient asylum rule in the world. The US does not.
