So...does Bush plan to put Lebanon Evacuees into "US Detention Camps

[KoKo]

because CNN's Blitzer says that: "Hezbollah" might have cells in the US who are "Terraists" waiting to blow us up?"

Heard tonight on CNN: “the French rescued me!”

That was an American woman, rescued from Beyrouth on a French ship.

On Monday, France rescued 800 French citizens, 400 Europeans and 50 Americans to Cyprus. They will be flown on Tuesday from Cyprus to Paris. 800 military personnel, in addition to 2 war ships, are assisting the operation.

By comparison, by Monday night, the American authorities had evacuated a grand total of… 64 American citizens.

Not only that, but those Americans cannot take more than one 30-pound bag with them, have to leave their laptops and cameras behind, and have to pay a $300 evacuation fee or sign a promissory note (in other words, they’re getting a loan!) All of that to go to Cyprus, where they will be left to sleep… in the street!

Who’s in charge over there, Brownie?

3. Why do they have to leave their tech gear behind?

5. that's what I am asking myself....

I bet that most evacuees are "brown" that is to say Lebanese Americans...

6. Obvious guess..

but they don't want photos of atrocities coming out of Lebanon.

Same reason they banned digital cameras after Abu Ghraib.

9. That would be my guess too. But man what bullshit.

7. Oh dear God...Evacuees have to leave the "EVIDENCE" behind?

I guess they've gotten smarter after "Katrina." No cell phone cameras or voice recorders who can talk about what "REALLY WENT ON!"

:-(

4. Depend on which class.

First class gets limosine service straight to their front door and a mail-in ballot.

Economy class gets Detention Camps.

8. Oh...I get it...you mean the "Titanic Scenario?" where passengers just

get into the "Life Boats" with "clothes on their backs" and forget the "evidence." sheesh.........
