Well, then the LA Times made this up, and workers at the US Embassy in Lebanon are lying. From the second page of the article:

They tried to call for guidance, but the phone lines at the embassy have been jammed for days. And registering with the embassy online was a futile exercise, McKnight discovered. He said Monday that he waited several days after registering his information, heard nothing and finally rented a car to make the trek to the heavily fortified building.

When he arrived, embassy workers explained that neither faxes nor online communications were getting through. So McKnight registered the old-fashioned way: with pencil and paper.

Sounds like what they mean, is nobody there has yet transcribed faxes and emails to the List.

Those peices of paper were then scanned and emailed to teh Deaprtment and all are now on the centeral system.
I have to leave for the taskforce right now but could check to make sure the name is on if I had a private e-mail. or call 888 407 4747 and ask to register. all the blasting of the Departmet of State is illinforemed we are workign arround the clock to help people get out.
