Washington Post publishes Op-Ed by IIE Scholar Rescue Fund visiting professor from Iraq
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/26/AR2006112600927.html
The scholar escaped the bombing of his newspaper in Iraq and death threats in his classroom and is now teaching Arabic literature at Duke on a visiting Scholar Rescue Fund Fellowship. His essay, "Iraq's Deadliest Zone: Schools," gives a dramatic account of the perils he faced in Iraq, his painful decision to flee, and the urgent situation for many other scholars still there today.
