The use of mercenaries in our Middle Eastern military ventures is called into question here in this Law And Order story. A mercenary representative from one of those private outfits is murdered in his hotel room in New York City. The trail leads to a pair of perpetrators, another mercenary played by Pablo Schreiber and the brother of one of Schreiber's fellow mercenaries who was killed in a road side ambush by presumably Al Queda. The brother is Adam Scott and he's the only true innocent in the whole show.
Because Schreiber has something to trade the case is taken out of Fred Dalton Thompson's office and Schreiber goes off to the Army Intelligence for something he has to trade. Not so lucky is Scott who's left holding the bag.
Schreiber is a true snake, but Tovah Feldshuh is guilty of gross mismanagement. Sam Waterston is quite right when he says that Feldshuh has a conflict of interest and that both defendants should have had separate counsels. Feldshuh who is usually as honest as she's sharp let her political views against the Iraq War cloud her legal judgment.
Some collateral casualties from Iraq are shown here.
