You know what else they killed? The SIGAR.mil website (special inspector general for afghan reconstruction), the congressionally chartered oversight/audit entity that had a very well laid out website with chronological ordered list of every document that the SIGAR had ever produced. But no, let's sweep it under the rug.

All of its PDF are still out there in the public domain, just scattered and not well organized in a single set of tabular pages. Here's its final report for an example of what it did.

Don't do this.

> In June 2024, the Office of the SIGAR submitted a sunset plan to ensure a smooth shutdown process and effective and timely transfer

Thank you. Looks like it was sunset in statute under Biden [1] and then closed, per the law, in 2026 prior to Trump taking office [2].

I'm not even going to bother writing several long paragraphs lecturing you on the Trump administration plan to hand the country back to the Taliban, which was executed in early spring 2020 in the "Doha Peace Deal" during the peak of covid19, when the world news media was thoroughly distracted.

For everyone else reading, the SIGAR reports cover a time span of multiple administrations, under both Bush terms, both Obama terms, Trump and then Biden again and second term of Trump. Its final report was published in late 2025. Removing all of its reference material on .AF generally is akin to removing the CIA World Factbook and is directly relevant to the topic at hand.

The httpd that was the sigar.mil website was static content only and cost effectively nothing to keep up after its chartered mission was completed. Instead, it's been shut down under the current administration. Did you even see the SIGAR website before they killed it? It was dead simple.

Your scant post history on what looks like a barely used sock puppet account also shows, and here's a verbatim quote: "All executions should be public if not for transparency's sake.", so I'm not going to further dignify engaging with some sort of fascist apologist.

Then why do you keep editing your post doing just that?

> cost effectively nothing to keep up

That's not how it works in any competently run business or public sector.

Nice personal attack, bruh.

I have absolutely zero compunctions against engaging in a personal attack against someone who defends livestreaming a public execution. Have a nice day, guy.
