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 …

Other reports are showing American soldiers preventing Afghans from boarding flights out, even on planes flown in to evacuate them to third countries. This policy is set from the top and is pretty unambiguous.https://twitter.com/AzitaGhanizada/status/1430558815867465729 …

Azita GhanizadaVerified account @AzitaGhanizadaAfghan diaspora, veteran allies, & private citizens have been working around the clock to assist getting friends/families & high risk Aghans on flights. They make it through the airport & then are not allowed on flights, why? Whatsapp yesterday from Special Ops Reserve.#sos pic.twitter.com/5ZEHy4AApm3 replies 17 retweets 41 likesShow this thread -

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

Via "Whatsapp yesterday from Special Ops Reserve". That's a tip. The starting point of journalism. A hint that something might be going on worth looking into more deeply.

I'm sure we'll have ample deeply-sourced journalism to read about the ongoing evacuation after it's over.

Great. But in the mean time, two giant empty planes doesn't really jibe with the numbers coming out of the government. So it deserves a skeptical eye even it serves your narrative (which I happen to agree with).

Yeah, it doesn't really jibe with the numbers coming from Biden's people. And yet we have lots of corroboration, including from the Wall Street Journal.https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-kabul-private-rescue-efforts-grow-desperate-as-time-to-evacuate-afghans-runs-out-11629875097 …

Oh, you're talking about *private* chartered flights. That does not surprise me.
