Instead, Americans are trapped in a country run by brutal terrorists, who are currently not allowing them to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCaul also told Fox News on Sunday morning that there are still hundreds of Americans stuck in Afghanistan and the Taliban isn\u2019t willing to authorize their release without something in return.
