I unfortunately don’t have a link for this, but as I type, the NBC affiliate out here in San Francisco is reporting that the U.S. government will be charging a fare for those Americans who wish to evacuate Lebanon by chartered cruise ship?!
If that’s actually correct, that seems rather harsh…

Congress passed a law requiring this. In general the State Department has not pursued payment.
