The government of Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and the United States military began a chaotic, poorly planned retreat. President Joe Biden wasn’t at the White House. Instead, he was at Camp David in Maryland.
Some slammed Biden for not returning to Washington, but the White House tried to assure us via photos posted to Twitter of video meetings he was holding with intelligence officials.

This morning, the President and Vice President met with their national security team and senior officials to hear updates on the draw down of our civilian personnel, evacuations, SIV applicants and other Afghan allies, and the ongoing security situation in Kabul. pic.twitter.com/U7IpK3Hyj8

The obvious question was why this wasn’t being taken at the White House — where, if a country where we’ve had a military presence for two decades, one would hope the president would be.
However, President Donald Trump’s acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell noticed something else problematic about the photo posted on Sunday. A close look shows the two images at the bottom of the screen Biden is viewing are marked “CIA” and “Doha Station.”
Who took this picture outing Intel officials?! Dear God. https://t.co/XsRcUVeysQ

He wasn’t the only one to notice it, either:
Heck of a job, White House communications shop. I figure you would want to crop out the teleconference screens labeled “CIA” and “Doha Station.” You panicking amateur idiots. https://t.co/ZFoICYYVwO — Jim Geraghty (@jimgeraghty) August 15, 2021

Another entity that noticed it, rather unpleasantly, was the Iranian state propaganda outlet Fars News.

China killed or imprisoned 18 to 20 CIA sources from 2010 to 2012, hobbling U.S. spying operations in a massive intelligence breach whose origin has not been identified, the New York Times -Reuters
