Freed at last

From Slushpile comes this dispatch: Rescue Effort Planned for Tortured Writer.

White House spokesman F. Scott McClegald confirmed that members of the Navy SEALs and the Army's Delta Force are in position to storm the University of California in Davis in order to free tormented author Lynn Freed.

"I think we all remember Ms. Freed's plaintive cry in her essay 'Doing Time: My Years in the Creative-Writing Gulag,'" McClegald said. "Here is a woman that wrote she did not want to teach. Not now, not ever. And yet as the Spring Quarter, 2006 begins today, she is being forced to do exactly that very thing."

Yes -- as is said of the MIAs from the Vietnam War, We Must Never Forget Them.
