Bones appears to be correct this link isn't to suspect but to another person with the same name who is Lebanese

"We lived through four nights of bombing, intense bombing. We lived through horror ... Just get out alive -- that was it," said Tom Charara, 50, an aerospace engineer from Long Beach, Calif., who was in southern Beirut with his wife, Rola, and their two children to visit his wife's parents.
"My dad is very sick. I think it was my last chance to say goodbye to him," said Mrs. Charara, 38, choking back tears. "I didn't see him before I left. I didn't even get a chance to give him a hug."
David Merhige, a musician from New York City who was visiting relatives for a wedding in Beirut, was one of the first evacuees off the first plane arriving at Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall International at 6:30 a.m. Most of the evacuees had not showered in days. A few minutes after 7 a.m., Mr. Merhige walked toward a large gaggle of reporters. He held a copy of the Daily Star, a Lebanese English-language newspaper, above his head.
The headline said, "The Ruin of a Nation" above a picture of bombed-out ruins in Lebanon.
Holding up the paper, Mr. Merhige, 39, said Lebanon "was incredible, before it looked like this." He called the Israeli bombings "crimes" and said he felt "horrible" about leaving behind relatives.
About 800 American evacuees are expected to arrive through Saturday on up to eight flights. The second flight is expected to land around midnight tonight.
Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. yesterday opened BWI as a repatriation center for Americans fleeing Lebanon, in response to a request from the federal government.
The flights are part of a mass U.S. evacuation from Lebanon, where Israel is attacking the terrorist organization Hezbollah. About 8,000 of the 25,000 Americans in Lebanon are seeking to evacuate.
Evacuees were guided through U.S. Customs to a help center, where state officials had computers and phones available for them to communicate with family or friends. After an hour, most of the 150 evacuees were headed for connecting flights or had left with family or friends.
The Chararas were in Beirut for 11 days before they found a way out, on a Norwegian cargo ship packed with 1,110 other passengers, mostly Dutch. Mrs. Charara, born and raised in Lebanon, spoke to her father as they rushed to leave.
"I told him, 'I'm leaving.' He said, 'That's a good choice.' And then I got disconnected," said Mrs. Charara, with a blue blanket draped over her shoulders and sipping coffee. "I felt guilty ... Because I have an American passport, I have the right to live?
