Well, now they’re asking for asylum because they’re afraid they’ll either be beheaded by the Taliban or punished by their own government for their indiscretion, according to Stars & Stripes<\/a>;<\/p>\n Maj. Jan Mohammad Arash, Capt. Mohammad Nasir Askarzada and Capt. Noorullah Aminyar…would be thankful for asylum in the United States, in Canada or in any other safe country,\u201d said Matthew Borowski, a Buffalo immigration attorney who has agreed to represent the three soldiers without pay. \u201cThey\u2019ve told me they just want to go somewhere they won\u2019t be killed.\u201d<\/p>\n The men are convinced they will be sent to prison, tortured and killed by the Afghan government if they are sent back to Afghanistan, Borowski said.<\/p>\n If the ultra-violent extremist organization known as the Taliban gets its hands on the three men, their treatment could be just as bad, or even worse, the attorney said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yeah, well, they should have thought of that before they left the mall in Boston, I suppose, but those people aren’t known for their far-sightedness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
