Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Harm (2007)
Did any of these jerks watch the episode?
The premise of the crime was the murder of a young woman made to look like an attempted rape. Remember? Nah. Probably not. It was discovered that she had traveled to Iraq and was involved with an organization that treated former torture victims, of which the Iraqi expatriate was one, who subsequently died from a condition incurred under torture. This torture was carried out by a PRIVATE contractor in a PRIVATE prison and the good doctor was a private contractor for the company that carried out the torture. Under the USA Patriot Act, the private contractors working in Iraq have immunity. If you will remember, or watch the damn show again, you will discover that the private security company protected and transferred the employee that carried out the torture, murdered the young woman at the beginning of the show, and the NY police had no authority to extradite him because he was protected by the Dept. of Homeland Security as was the doctor.
This is a plausible plot, and to make it absolutely clear to the right wing morons who have commented, this was not about the military against terrorists. This was about the murder of a US citizen (the young woman, remember?) by a criminal, protected by a for profit corporation and the USDHS.
