"Throughout the building, telltale signs telegraph a rapid retreat from the U. S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Documents litter a diplomat's desk. Bottles of Fanta stand half full. Filing cabinets protrude displaying their contents."

Fanta? Are they sure it wasn't 1979 that the embassy was abandoned? It must have been indescribable, walking in and seeing the place looking as if people had just stepped away from their desks.
