A secret CIA compound outside Kabul reportedly served as a base of operations for evacuations that avoided Taliban checkpoints.
Eagle Base — which until 2004 was home to the notorious prison known as the Salt Pit — was used from Aug. 15-Aug. 28 to assist with evacuation efforts after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, according to a report from The New York Times published Wednesday.
“Russian-made Mi-17 helicopters flew evacuees from the compound to Kabul airport to avoid Taliban checkpoints. Flight data shows that three Mi-17s made at least 35 flights there since the Taliban took control on Aug. 15,” Evan Hill, a visual investigator for the NYT, tweeted Wednesday.

The kids are with family and we don’t even know if they are US or Afghan citizens—just that they are California students.
So, who cares?
Brave folks to fly in a Russian chopper.
And we are telling the whole world about this because?
Count on Biden using this talking point to add to his “victory lap”. Biden is less than a snake, and more than a traitor. This entire affair cannot be un-f**ked up, regardless of what the liars say. There’s no walking this back, Joe. RESIGN!
And we are telling the whole world about this because?
~~~~~~~~~
Because the Biden regime is choking off escape routes, like China told him.
24 Child brides and their handlers/relatives, sent to Afghanistan to be auctioned off for USA green-card and chain-migration purposes.
We even have a sitting Congresswoman who married her own brother for Immigration and Welfare fraud, so as Lily Tomlin said - no matter how cynical I become, I can't keep up.
Jen said the evacuees included Afghans and Americans, but of course couldn’t provide details because I imagine it was very few Americans.
and who did they bring out?? Us Citizens?? Afghan interpreters w/families?? - or Afghan nationals many of whom had no identification papers.
Yup. IIRC they were visiting family.
There are still people in country! So much for that secret.
My thoughts exactly. What a freakin’ circus!
Disclosing this before the CIA has finished the job is endangering lives. When the CIA screws up, they deserve accountability. When they are getting it right, we do not need to know until long after it is over.
Daily calling is spewing fact making myths for the CIA branch of the deep state.
The Mi-17 is designed for a passenger load of 24 troops.
Thirty five trips at 24 passengers each amounts to 840 evacuees ferried between the CIA base and Kabul airport, NOT “thousands” as the report states.
The number 840 sounds more like the CIAs own in-country personal than any unrelated evacuees.
Translation: DailyCaller = deep state smoke and mirrors.
Because someone told the august DNC 'newspaper of record', the New York Times! They are so eager for the truth to be set free (for values and biases thereof)! At least it was not Abu Ghraib right? (I know, different country!) Now the ISIL & Taliban know, so that is another corridor closed!
Why would someone print this?
true that
And yet, 1000s of Americans still in Afghanistan......yeah, okie dokie.
OR the 51 dogs...which have more training than the 24 kids will EVER get.
