Allegra, are they going to be safe over there with this news getting out?
I think so. I imagine they're here now. All the flights from Amman will have come in by now and it's a short flight.
Americans come in here by the hundreds every day - either for company visits, returning from leave or just arriving for jobs. I don't think this group will really have more target value than the rest of us, which is good. They'll have good security and that's what makes a difference.
These folks are to be especially commended. They've never been here before and that first time in is scary, no matter who you are. I'll wager that President Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and the rest of them have gotten "the butterflies" the first time they came in here. I know I did.
This delegation is coming here for a noble cause and it's very brave of them to do it. KUDOS to them all.
