American evacuees from Lebanon won’t have to pay.
Earlier today, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) criticized
the Bush adminstration for telling American evacuees from Lebanon they
would have to repay their transportation costs.
"A nation that can provide more than $300 billion for a war in Iraq
can provide the money to get its people out of Lebanon."
CNN reports that the White House has reversed its position and will be
waiving the costs. http://www.cnn.com/

I thought the law that said US citizens have to reimburse the
government was passed in 1956.

Of course that still means Bush must follow this law. Now I guess he
will be impeached for not following the letter of the law.

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2006/04/30/bush_challenges_hundreds_of_laws/
April 30, 2006
WASHINGTON -- President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more
than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to
set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his
interpretation of the Constitution.
...
Leave it to a looney tune brain dead rightard to ignore that...

Nobody has yet claimed that a single one of these travellers is unable
to pay his own passage. The problem seems to be related to the fact
that there is a shortage of available transportation, what is available
is no doubt going for premium rates, and nobody is going *to* the
region, at least nobody in his right mind that has not been ordered to
go there by some government.
Are there seriously people travelling to the middle east who are
pretending to be ignorant of the risks they took?

Getting transportation for 25,000 people is far more complex then just
diverting a plane or thirty to non-existant runways or sending over an
aircraft carrier. You need to consider food, water, sanitation,
security, giving the people something to do while in transit, the
handling and storage of personal possesions, etc. Sending in a plane
to evacuate a hundred people is much less of a challange.

Even without the travel warnings that go back decades, it's common
knowledge that places like lebanon are dangerous places to be.

No they didn't. They had a few hundred to get and sent small boats and
or planes to get them. The US had thousands of people and we had to
mobilize to get thousands. The difference in scale requires a
different solution.

They don't have far to go. Did they offer to take Americans as far as
Spain, Italy, or Cyprus? Would a red-blooded American refuse to accept
an offer to go to France?
Has anyone actually been refused passage on a ship or plane that had
space?
Why are people so gung-ho to go from relative safety on the ground, to a
seriously dangerous situation getting on a plane or boarding a ship in a
war zone?

Actually they do not require payment before taking you. You sign a
promisary note to make payment at a later date.

Some of the right wingers have problems with this. They can't see that
there is a difference between going to a country, not having the money to
return and having the US counsel pay your way home. That requires a
promisary note. The idiots think this is the same as being evacuated from a
war torn country.
Geez, it would help the repugs if a majority learned to, oh, read.

Some of the right wingers have problems with this. They can't see that
there is a difference between going to a country, not having the money to
return and having the US counsel pay your way home.
I once knew a football hooligan who routinely got passage back to New
York by getting arrested and deported.

American evacuees from Lebanon won't have to pay.
Earlier today, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) criticized
the Bush adminstration for telling American evacuees from Lebanon they
would have to repay their transportation costs.
"A nation that can provide more than $300 billion for a war in Iraq
can provide the money to get its people out of Lebanon."
CNN reports that the White House has reversed its position and will be
waiving the costs. http://www.cnn.com/
Hey Nancy baby. Exactly what US law passed by congress allows the US
government to pay for the travel of US private citizens overseas even
those in war zones?
Why are you confusing traveling with evacuation?

This country appears to be completley turned upside down.

If the traveler gets to choose the destination, it's traveling.
I might even go as far as to say if the traveler gets to decide whether
to stay or go, it's not evacuation.

Isn't there some kind of federal law requiring payment for
transportation cost for citizen caught in a war zone?

Isn't it a fact that some of the transportation carriers are civilian
operated, and not even under the jurisdiction of US law?

Isn't it also a fact that some U.S. air carriers are paid money each year to
maintain their aircraft to supplement military troop and cargo movement in
time of need.
