6. I think there's some law that says stranded Americans can appeal to
the Embassy and the Embassy is required to press their case. At least from past reading it seems that Americans were able to go to the Embassy in times of trouble like those stranded in WWII or in Vietnam.
I heard a blurb yesterday on the cables saying that the stranded tourists had appealed to the Embassy but had not had any cooperation. That's all I know about it.
I think we have a moral obligation, whether it's legal or not...I don't know.
