Law and Order SVU

This week's episode was all over the place. It started out with a woman who had been stabbed in the heart, blead to death, and might have been raped. This woman worked with refugees from Iraq, since she could speak Arabic. The center lead the detectives to a home where some of the refugees lived. The woman had said that her husband had died the same night has the other woman had. After some questioning, the detectives found out that the man had been part of an interrogation by the governement; a cruel torturing that "allegedly" did not leave long term physical or mental damage. The woman who was killed was helping the man write a tell-all book to expose what the government was doing. Although the man died from a heart attack, he had it because he had heart failure from being forced to stay in a freezing ice bath for over 48 hours. The detectives found the woman who taught the army how to use these interrogation "tactics" and tried her for negligance homicide. The trial was declared a mistrial, but the "doctor" temorarily lost her liscence. This was a big political episode. The part about the doctor and the torturing well shown well, but they left a lot of loose ends untied, a lot of unanswered questions.
