So if you’re in terrorist-occupied territory, and the terrorists are telling you that you can’t leave until a certain set of demands or conditions are met, then you’re not… a hostage?
Once again, leftist journalists turn themselves inside out to concoct a ridiculous narrative.

Question: When are hostages not really hostages?
Answer: When the hostage situation makes a Democrat look bad. Then they’re not really hostages. They’re just guests who have not yet been invited to leave.

Let’s do a thought exercise, @NaveedAJamali. Let’s say Trump is still president. In this scenario, Trump completely botched the withdrawal. For days and days, the Taliban blockades the airport and refuses to let Americans leave. A bomb explodes and kills 14 Marines.
In frustration, Anderson Cooper of CNN sends a fleet of private jets to Afghanistan in an effort to get Americans out. Only, the Taliban isn’t letting the jets leave until a certain set of demands are met. In your opinion, @NaveedAJamali, would this be a hostage situation?
Would there be wall to wall coverage of the situation? Would CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and others blame Trump for the Americans stranded and held hostage in Afghanistan? The answer is yes. They would.
Lastly, regardless of partisan politics, is there an actual hostage situation in Afghanistan? Yes. There is.
