Politico: U.S. officials provided Taliban with names of Americans, Afghan allies to evacuate 

“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said one defense official. 

U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that's prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials. 

The move, detailed to POLITICO by three U.S. and congressional officials, was designed to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan as chaos erupted in Afghanistan’s capital city last week after the Taliban seized control of the country. 

It also came as the Biden administration has been relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport.
