 There are things you cannot unsee, you write. A teenager forcibly ejected from the Baron Hotel, which was your base, by a stony-faced British soldier kicking and screaming. I wonder what happened to that child? He, I'm sure, will have gone back out into Kabul and we will not know what happened to him since. And that hangs heavy on you today? Yes, I think it hangs heavily on everybody who was in that evacuation. And you talk about the political directives you were receiving.
