Saddam's Torture Doctor Working in British Hospitals
This is a horrifying revelation:
A doctor involved in horrific torture by Saddam Hussein’s henchmen is working in British hospitals.
In an astonishing immigration scandal, border officials have allowed the suspected war criminal to treat thousands of British patients.
Dr Mohammed Kassim Al-Byati was given a permit to work as a doctor in the NHS by the Labour government in 2004.
Checks failed to uncover his history of working for the notorious Iraqi Intelligence Agency, which ran the country in a reign of terror during the Saddam years.
His job was to patch up torture victims so that they could be subjected to more appalling treatment.
In 2007, Al-Byati contacted the Home Office to confess to his horrific past so that he could claim asylum.
But, incredibly, this did not prevent him from carrying on earning tens of thousands of pounds working at a hospital in Wales.
Even now, despite his file being referred to a specialist war crimes unit, he remains cleared by the General Medical Council, and has been working in the West Midlands.

Once Obamacare is in full effect, he will have unlimited opportunities in the US. In fact his expertise will be particularly appropriate.

Pride of the National Health Service.
BTW Diane, you aren't suggesting that immigrants be subjected to a background check are you?

Re: Saddam's Torture Doctor Working in British Hospitals
Diane,
I appreciate that you are horrified. It's.........confounding?
But the cards are on the table. Totalitarianism is back. It is ancient, deeply rooted and vetted and well used to recovering from brief periods of setback associated with sporadic bouts of human freedom.
In this historical moment, it is called Sharia. In other moments, there were other names.
Is Europe lost? How else could one explain the acceptance of such a ....creature?

I don't know that I follow your argument. That a war criminal is allowed to practice medicine in Britain is surely disgusting, but how exactly is it Sharia?

Take heart, Diane. There's nothing wrong here. Paul Krugman explains:
See? Quit worrying.

I blame George W Bush - if he hadn't invaded Iraq this doctor would still be there, doing his work.

Re: Saddam's Torture Doctor Working in British Hospitals
And meanwhile, George W. Bush can't travel in Europe without worrying about bogus arrest warrants issued by grandstanding "human rights" advocates.
It is to weep.

You're correct to ask this.
Among my many flaws, I tend to be dogmatic with some issues. I see Islam demographically moving toward the control of Europe. It's a function of birthrate. That such an animal is allowed to work in the British system is (in my dogmatic way) seen as an example of Europe's Islamification. Churchill is rolling over in his grave while Chamberlain approves.
I further see Islam's closed society as the only potential and authentic challenge to America's version of the open society. A one term dictator or tyrant will not defeat the open society. A complex system of laws, rules, regulations and Faith has the potential to do so. Sharia (again, in my admittedly closed minded way) is that system.
A direct connection between the torturer and Sharia? You are correct. It's tenuous at best.

What this story did for me was remind me of the old joke about what would happen if communists got control of the Sahara.

Re: Saddam's Torture Doctor Working in British Hospitals
The only surprise here is that anyone would be surprised by this. Paying even casual attention to events in Europe it has been apparent for decades now that their immigration system is beyond broken:
Vile banned militant extremist strolls through Heathrow immigration as 200 Somalian criminals are allowed to stay due to human rights
This has actually become widespread in all of Europe, let us not forget that the September 11 hijackers came from Germany of all places. Among the TSA's many failures I definitely add not including all of Europe in their list of 'security risk states'. The next terrorist attacker in the US will not be flying in from Yemen, Algeria or Saudi Arabia. No they will arrive from Great Britain, France or Germany.

Call it Shariah, call it what you want. It moves toward us using the control given by a rapidly re-producing movement known as Islam. They intend to assert hegemony by using the laws of the Republic, the Democracy. Take control of elections. Their leaders speak about this. They tirade about this.
Their children will vote themselves into power.

Call it dawa, call it colonization. That's what Obama's friends in the Muslim Brotherhood call it.
