Is it common for things to be "omitted from the record", and is it common for it to be reported on when/if it does happen?




I imagine that all depends on that info being useful to those painting the picture.

As a mom I can’t imagine handing my child over that fence .. but as a mom I couldn’t imagine keeping my child on the other side, especially if a girl.

That's just a perforated cover. Suppressors can get extremely hot, its just a perforated tube over the suppressor to help with handling.

That's cringeworthy.

Some assumptions here but it’s seeming pretty clear that our soldiers are actually rescuing people. Good news if so

The Latest: Official Taliban websites abruptly go offline


quote:

BOSTON — Taliban websites that delivered the victorious insurgents' official messages to Afghans and the world at large in five languages have abruptly gone offline.

It is not immediately clear why the sites in the Pashto, Urdu, Arabic, English and Dari languages went offline Friday. They had been shielded by Cloudflare, a San Francisco-based content delivery network and denial-of-service protection provider.

Cloudflare has not respond to emails and phone calls seeking comment on the development, which was first reported by The Washington Post.

Also Friday, the popular encrypted messaging service WhatsApp removed a number of Taliban groups, according to Rita Katz, director of SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks online extremism.

The websites' disappearance may just be temporary as the Taliban secures new hosting arrangements. But the reported removal of the WhatsApp groups followed the banning of Taliban accounts by Facebook, the service's parent company, on Tuesday after the U.S.-backed Afghan government fell to the Taliban.

This is the first official report I've seen of the Taliban going door-to-door.

NBC News

quote:

Taliban carrying out door-to-door manhunt for Afghans on blacklist, report says


quote:

Fresh reports added to growing evidence of Taliban repression as the militant group's fighters cracked down on protests and thousands of desperate Afghans continued their efforts to flee the country.

The Taliban are going door-to-door and screening names at Kabul checkpoints as they hunt for people who worked with U.S.-led forces or the previous Afghan government, according to an intelligence report submitted to the United Nations.

The report — compiled by a Norwegian intelligence group and sent to NBC News — casts further doubt on the militant group's claims of a "general amnesty" in the wake of their takeover.

In recent days the group's fighters responded with force to nascent protests in pockets across the country as their rule faced a number of early challenges.

That article didn't say it was all-inclusive or mention social media. It was just talking about their official websites.

I just saw a video that may have been an Afghan child dying inside the Kabul airport. I'm not posting the link until I see if the video makes rne rounds and it is verified in some way. It was a girl and the father was carrying her.
