Darn...now the UK NHS system will be looking for another ophthalmologist recruit.

They already hired one of Sadam Husain's torture doctors:

A doctor involved in treating Iraqis who were tortured during Saddam Hussein's regime could be banned from working for the NHS.

Dr Mohammed Kassim Al-Byati worked for the Iraqi Intelligence Agency, which was responsible for torturing numerous Iraqis.

He has admitted his role was to treat victims' injuries so they could face torture again.

Today Dr Al-Byati, who is in his 40s, will appear before Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service panel, which will decide whether he is fit to continue practising in the UK.

A spokesman said: "The Panel will inquire into the allegation that between December 1992 and March 1994, Dr Al-Byati visited camps and prisons in his capacity as a doctor in Iraq.

"It is alleged that during these visits and whilst administering treatment, Dr Al-Byati knew that some prisoners he treated had sustained injuries as a result of torture, and it was likely that the prisoners would be tortured again.
