Biden officials defended the move during a classified briefing on Capitol Hill earlier this week, which turned contentious.

What's happening here?

This is beyond incompetence. Providing a list to our enemies is not the best way to keep Americans and our allies safe. U.S. officials have put a target on every person on that list.

Why would officials do something so dangerous to the well-being of those Americans and Afghan allies?

It's as if they want them dead.
