Pentagon explaining that Taliban outside the airport are enforcing American admissions policy and being given lists of names(!) by the military. As I've said several times before, the Taliban is being used by US occupation forces as a de facto fundamentalist wing of ICE.https://twitter.com/CurtisHouck/status/1430557811059183622 …

In my estimation there's a reason the US government is giving total number of people flown out and not breaking those numbers down by citizenship.

From Blinken and Psaki's comments today, the closest we can get to numbers: 82,300 people flown since Aug 14. "At least" 4,500 US citizens, plus immediate family. Unknown number of green card holders, third country nationals, and US citizens not on the State Department's list

Binken's numbers mention "coalition flights" so presumably the 82,300 total includes all the evacuees for western countries operating in Afghanistan right now.

I don't disagree with what you're saying, but I feel like you're dipping into dubious sourcing to back it up.

You think Ghanizada is a dubious source?

Good reporting from the Wall Street Journal about how American forces are not letting Afghans in to the airport even when they have a seat on an NGO-chartered flight to safety. https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-kabul-private-rescue-efforts-grow-desperate-as-time-to-evacuate-afghans-runs-out-11629875097 …pic.twitter.com/LlC1OhfMnE
