Will the taliban let go? there have been instances where we have received reports of people being turned away or pushed back or even beaten. We are taking that up in a channel with the taliban to try to resolve those issues. And we are concerned about whether that will continue to unfold in the coming days. As things stand right now, what we are finding is that we are getting people through the gate, we are getting them lined up and we re getting them on planes, but this is an hour by hour issue.

American personnel getting rid of sensitive materials destroyed the passports of some afghans possibly because it would have been dangerous for them to fall into the hands of the taliban. But of course it creates major problems for the afghan
