Tonight on Law & Order looks like a must see

[AlCzervik]

and i'm pretty sure it's loosely based on this story
http://www.alternet.org/story/18588/

from NBC

AMERICA, INC.
9pm 2006-03-22 ALL NEW!
WAS VENGEANCE THE REASON BEHIND THE SLAYING OF A PRIVATE MILITARY CONTRACTOR? -- A private military contractor is found shot to death in his hotel room and Detectives Fontana (Dennis Farina) and Green (Jesse L. Martin) believe vengeance is the motive in a politcally charged case that questions the reason America is at war. The detectives soon narrow their focus on a fellow commando Kevin Boatman (guest star Pablo Schrieber) and the younger brother of a man who was murdered by Iraqi insurgents while under the victim's questionable command. But as A.D.A. Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) fights to keep a frightening video of the Iraqi execution out of court, he confronts unexpected political intrigue when more details are revealed about a recently captured terrorist. Annie Parisse, S. Epatha Merkerson and Fred Dalton Thompson also star. TV-14

9. Vincent D'Onofrio's Peter Lorre lisp

With all those affected pauses, he should... go ahead and... star in:
a Cake music... video.

:-)

Perhaps he could reprise the Kiefer Sutherland Role as Karl Rove in _Dark Senate_ (a remake of Dark City) or he could play the title character in _W_ (a remake of Fritz Lang's _M_)

6. Theres a rumor htat one of the characters may be leaving

I hope its Branch(Thompson), as far as actually DAs go on that show, Adam Schiff played by Stephen Hill was the best one, the way he treated his ADAs was very respectful and he was kind of a father figure to McCoy.

4. But American Idol is on! LOL

Cool! L & A/Criminal Intent just did the show inspired by the Abramoff scandal too.

5. Love the back and forth between Thompson and Waterston.

One a Repug, the other a liberal.

10. When is Sam Waterston running for office?

If Fred Thompson and Arnold Schwarzenegger can do it...

I know, he's playing a character, but 10 years of playing an articulate liberal has to have some method acting to it...

I'd love to see a Sam Waterston/Richard Belzer ticket! Anyone got Photoshop?
