I can't believe there are people who think pointing fingers is more urgent than helping 25,000 potential hostages leave Lebanon - and a fellow Freeper among them to boot.

Look, Reb, just in case you didn't get the private message I sent you : should you want to go to the port and talk your way into the French-dispatched ferry, send me some details about the guy you had contacts with via Freepmail, and I'll translate them into French (in case you don't already speak the language).

That'll be something to give to the officials to make them understand your situation better, and maybe that'll help give you some kind of priority treatment.

Thanks for the offer, but I will wait for word from the U.S. Embassy that it my turn. I'm probably in better position to weather this than most. Let them go first.

The finger pointing is beyond the pale and accomplishes nothing. Let's get people home first and then they can rant all they want.
