Court-martialed RAF doc: US "on a par with Nazi Germany"

Hey, let's look at the positive side of this story. He didn't say the US is worse than Nazi Germany.

An Australian-born Royal Air Force doctor is under court-martial for refusing to serve in Iraq.

As a doctor, Flight Lieutenant Malcolm Kendall-Smith isn't be expected to take up arms in support of the coalition cause in Iraq. But he was ordered to Iraq, and he said "no."

It seems Flt. Lt. Kendall-Smith has been reading his Noam Chomsky.

From News.com Australia, here are the doctor's comments:

I have evidence that the Americans were on a par with Nazi Germany with its actions in the Persian Gulf.

I have documents in my possession which support my assertions.

This is on the basis that on-going acts of aggression in Iraq and systematically applied war crimes provide a moral equivalent between the US and Nazi Germany.
