Aid v. Mukasey (7th Cir. 8/2/08) MANION Posner Ripple An Algerian man who refused to give supplies to the Islamicists (for free) was denied asylum for lack of a nexus to any political opinion. The 7th Cir affirmed. "Aid did not go to the police with the intent of allying himself with the Algerian government or getting the terrorists into trouble. Rather, his motivation was self-preservation: he sought to protect himself from misdirected retribution by the army mistakenly thinking that he was working in concert with the terrorists." Found that while "reasonable minds could differ," substantial evidence does support the Board's denial.
