#1 Move along please. We handed the Parwan Detention Facility over to the host nation. Our records are incomplete or have been destroyed. Pretty much anything we had was destroyed in the recent controlled detonation at EAGLE BASE. You'll have to contact former host nation officials for additional details.

We direct your attention to the President Biden orded Reaper strike yesterday in Nangarhar province, east of Kabul and bordering Pakistan.

#2 Astonishingly, the Pentagon contradicted itself, claiming that information sharing wasn’t happening

#3 OK, you may be thinking I'm suffering from onomatophobia but consider this:

#6 No known treatment or cure.

Treatment includes cognitive and behavioral therapy. These people are taught not to react in a certain way to a particular word.

#10 "Astonishingly..."

The word used when trying to put a positive spin on "astoundingly."
