re: U.S.blames Britain for Kabul bombing- Leaked Pentagon papers:gate was open for UK evacuees

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.

And so American commanders, armed with this information and convinced of an imminent mass casualty event, decided to allow U.S. military personnel to continue assisting with Abbey Gate rather than turning it over to the British? That's incompetence that borders on the criminal.
