on a boat with so many americans? so it was definitely paranoia and fear being on that boat. >> understandable. >> i think i felt safer than being at home. >> right. and let me just ask you quickly, what happens next. what are the plans to get everybody out of malta. or are you waiting it out until you can go back to libya? or are you coming to the u.s.? >> right now it's uncertain. we're not sure if we want to wait out here or go back to america. the situation's kind of still unclear. the information from the american embassy has been kind of distressing, i guess. i think it's more important to focus on what's going on with libya and what the world can do to stop it. >> well, thank you, both, for telling your personal stories, harrowing ones at that. and i'm glad you're in malta for now and we wish you the best of luck. thanks so much.
