Sharing the intel with the Brits that there was an imminent terror attack (SEE my new thread) So temporarily suspending transfer was wise-should have happened, agree?
It is like someone seeing a lion coming from a better vantage point and not telling people in the lions way, agree?
Even if there was a general alert for a terrorist attack-this is common there. The U.S. knew it seems precisely what was going to happen.

From the OP article:
Leaked transcripts handed to Politico suggest Pentagon officials had predicted a 'mass casualty' attack at Kabul airport and warned that the Abbey Gate was the 'highest risk' in a meeting just 24 hours before 170 people and 13 US Marines were killed.
In a second conference call at 12pm last Thursday, American commanders set out plans to close the gate by that afternoon. However, the decision was taken to allow Britain, based at the nearby Baron Hotel, to continue evacuating people through it.
Six hours later, an ISIS-K terrorist armed with a suicide vest killed himself and almost 200 others.
Sounds like the Brits had the information, but wanted Abbey Gate left open. That was a mistake we warned them about.
