Assuming they didn't harbor double allegiances.

Fair point but we are talking about thousands of people who were promised safety for their help. Safety doesn't necessarily mean a visa straight to America - it could even mean safety in safe 2nd country or something else. Even diplomats and others were left in embassy for the last moment to be taken out. This abandonment of trust is exactly what ruins the reputation and will then get used as propaganda by the Taliban.
