MJ etal. Thanks for your very hard work on this.  It is disappointing that none of the media targets thought this was worth publishing, since I think there was real news value here.  A terrific trip.

Some thoughts and possible lessons.  Perhaps it is worthwhile securing a commitment with a media outlet to publish a piece  like this before the trip commences, particularly if there is a hook for some specific action to be taken which we recommend, or a specific call to an action by government.

It may be that the article needed in addition to the humanitarian perspective the oped needed more of a regional or national security focus.  That the survival of the Government of Jordan (and Lebanon) is really at stake and that poses a clear and present danger to the U.S.  And the area becomes more of a breeding ground for terrorism and ISIS.

Nonetheless, we can use a Huff Post piece to help us in our lobbying and advocacy.

We're going to make one final pitch to U.S. News & World Report today. If they don't bite by COB, it will be published on our Huffington Post channel first thing tomorrow morning.
