Probably Zemanik was required to give her a lunch break after she worked a certain number of hours, even if she wasn’t going to eat.

The U.S. agreed to the idea earlier last year. The third-country presence carries the risk of giving the Taliban an undeserved veneer of legitimacy, giving it the opportunity to buy time on the battlefield by going through the motions, and engage in blackmail over quitting negotiations.
