Psaki: ‘There Are No American Hostages, Just People Being Detained Against Their Will Until Their Captors’ Demands Are Met’

“…WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a press conference this morning, Press secretary Jen Psaki proudly confirmed that everyone has made it safely out of Afghanistan and there are no hostages at all.

“The people at the Kabul airport are not hostages,” said Psaki. “It would be very irresponsible for us to call them hostages. The word ‘hostage’ sounds like something from a bad action movie or something. These are merely people being detained against their will until their captors’ demands are met. That’s not the same thing as being a hostage at all.”…”
