Murdering Teachers

London Daily Telegraph reported on the growing number of intellectuals targeted around Iraq and the resulting “unprecedented brain drain as those who can move abroad increasingly do so.” The article said at least 182 academics/university professors have been killed since 2003, with many more kidnappings and attempted murders. 331 school teachers have been murdered in the past four months. The article noted it was originally thought the toppling of Saddam would see a flow of exiled intellectuals returning to Iraq. Instead, the opposite has happened.
