Hostage crisis? Taliban blocking departure of six planes carrying Americans, says GOP rep HotAir

By Thomas A. Smith

Quite a bombshell. Unless I missed a story somewhere, this is the first the public is hearing about this. Chris Wallace must have missed that story too because he does a double take when Mike McCaul mentions it.

Six planes with Americans aboard, cleared for arrival by the State Department but unable to take off from Mazar-i-Sharif because the Taliban wants to use them for leverage. Sounds like a hostage crisis to me.
